Bournemouth 2-2 Man United

Further pressure was heaped on Erik ten Hag after Man United again dropped points with a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.

Ten Hag’s men were tormented for much of an uninspiring performance in Dorset and twice trailed in the first half following goals from Cherries pair Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert.

Solanke had given the hosts the lead after capitalising on a slip by Willy Kambwala, before firing past Andre Onana to net his 17th league goal of the season.

Bruno Fernandes drilled in from close range to equalise after 31 minutes, but Bournemouth soon regained the lead through Kluivert after some more wayward United defending.

Bournemouth went close to a third when a downward header from Milos Kerkez bounced up onto the crossbar.

Then in first-half stoppage-time, Fernandes saw his long-range effort clip the top of the woodwork.

Yet outstanding Bournemouth, who also wasted numerous other chances, should have have been out of sight by then.

Fernandes denied the hosts a maiden league double over the 20-time English champions by converting a 65th-minute penalty after Adam Smith inexplicably handled.

Bournemouth had an added-time penalty award overturned by VAR as a disjointed United escaped the Vitality Stadium with a scarcely-deserved 2-2 draw.
