Bournemouth had to settle for a point against Manchester United after a controversial penalty decision allowed the lacklustre visitors to draw level in the second half.
Dominic Solanke’s fizzing effort gave the Cherries the lead before Bruno Fernandes turned a loose ball into the back of the net from close range. The hosts took advantage of some slack defending as Justin Kluivert weaved into the box and slotted the ball past Andre Onana to restore the lead.
With United bereft of creativity and pass bounced up to strike Alan Smith on the arm inside his own box with referee Tony Harrington pointing to the spot and VAR deciding not to overturn. Fernandes scored the penalty and salvaged a draw for Erik ten Hag’s men.

FULL-TIME! Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United
The referee brings the game to an end after some late penalty-related drama.
Another good result for Bournemouth in a season full of them. They’ll probably feel like it’s two pints dropped though, after outclassing their opponents for much of the game.
For Manchester United, a result that characterises a poor season and further illustrates how much needs to change, from the manager to a selection of certain players.
