Manchester United

Manchester United were involved in a Premier League thriller as they let slip a three-time lead to draw 4-4 against Bournemouth at Old Trafford. The result prevented Ruben Amorim’s men from moving up to fifth in the table despite arguably their best attacking display under his management.

Match Highlights:

  • Amad Diallo and Casemiro gave United a first-half advantage, either side of Antoine Semenyo’s equaliser.
  • Bournemouth hit back early in the second half through Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier, taking a 3-2 lead.
  • Bruno Fernandes scored a brilliant free-kick and Matheus Cunha netted his second to restore United’s lead.
  • Eli Junior Kroupi secured a point for Bournemouth with a fine finish, and David Brooks was denied twice by Senne Lammens in stoppage time.

Despite the draw, Amorim saw positives in his forward line finally showing cohesion. United’s bright start was highlighted by Diallo’s opener, finishing an empty-net header from Cunha’s cross. However, injuries to Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt were felt at the back.

Bournemouth fought valiantly, with Semenyo, Evanilson, and Tavernier capitalising on defensive lapses. United restored their composure, and Fernandes’ free-kick and Cunha’s second ensured a high-scoring spectacle, but United again failed to hold the lead late in the game.

The result leaves United sixth on goal difference, while Bournemouth climb to 13th, ending their seven-game winless run.
