Manchester United and Bournemouth share thrills and spills in eight-goal extravaganza
"From near-total control to collapse to late Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha goals that seemed to put Manchester United on the right end of a 4-3 thriller. But, then, yet more horrific defending allowed Eli Kroupi, a substitute, to score Bournemouth's third equaliser and, at the final whistle, the points were shared. Fernandes's strike was a pinpoint curled free-kick on 77 minutes, Cunha's finish came 120 seconds later when Benjamin Sesko's cross from the left hit Adrien Truffert and diverted into his path."
"Twelve minutes in and United came alive. Amad Diallo began and finished the move. From the right he pinged the ball to Casemiro who relayed it to Diogo Dalot along the left. One stepover later and he was firing a diagonal into Bournemouth's area. Cunha rose and missed the header and the ball hit Djordje Petrovic, leaving the goalkeeper helpless to prevent the Ivorian nodding in from under the bar."
Manchester United moved from early dominance to a dramatic late turnaround as Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha scored to put United ahead. Fernandes curled a pinpoint free-kick on 77 minutes and Cunha capitalised 120 seconds later after Benjamin Sesko's cross struck Adrien Truffert and deflected into Cunha's path. Amad Diallo had earlier finished a team move involving Casemiro and Diogo Dalot. Eli Kroupi, introduced as a substitute, then scored Bournemouth's late equaliser and the match ended level. United continue to score freely but their defending remains consistently exposed amid recent improved results.
