Manchester United were held to a 4-4 draw by Bournemouth in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Monday evening.
United started the game on the front foot and took the lead in the 13th minute, when Amad Diallo put the ball into the net after Djordje Petrovic deflected Diogo Dalot’s cross into his path.
Matheus Cunha came close to doubling United’s lead, combining with Bruno Fernandes before flashing his effort wide.
Bryan Mbeumo then saw an effort saved by Petrovic on the half-hour mark as United continued to apply the pressure on the visitors.
Moments later, Senne Lammens had to be alert to keep out Marcus Tavernier’s header.
At the other end, Adam Smith’s brilliant block denied Diallo a second goal before Mbeumo volleyed Cunha’s delightful cross over the bar.
Bournemouth drew level against the run of play as Luke Shaw was dispossessed, allowing Smith to slip the ball to Antoine Semenyo, who burst into the area to pick out the far post.
Casemiro restored United’s lead before the break, heading Fernandes’ corner into the net at the far post.
Seconds after the restart, Bournemouth drew level again, as Tavernier fed Evanilson in behind the United defence, and the Brazilian slotted the ball past Lammens.
Tavernier completed the turnaround in the 51st minute, curling a beautiful free-kick beyond the United wall and the outstretched Lammens.
Mbeumo squandered a big chance to restore parity for United, smashing the ball high from inside the area.
Fernandes drew United level, bending a free-kick into the far top corner. Shortly after, Cunha made it 4-3 with a side-footed finish.
However, Man United’s lead only lasted for five minutes as substitute Eli Kroupi levelled the scores for Bournemouth.
Deep into stoppage time, Lammens made two brilliant saves to deny David Brooks a late winner for Bournemouth.
