It's another draw for Bournemouth - this time against the 10 men of Manchester United. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd We're now into the 11th minute of added time and Bournemouth win a corner. This will surely be the last chance. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Alan Smith Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports Manchester United are a team of character these days under Michael Carrick and they've shown some resilience here to hold on with 10 men, even though Bournemouth have pegged them back. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Alex Scott goes down with a head injury. The nine minutes of stoppages are almost up but we'll certainly have more. By the way, this would be a fifth consecutive draw for Bournemouth. Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say How are people blaming VAR? That's just a dreadful, inconsistent ref. We had them before VAR. If anything, we should make them go and look at EVERY penalty on the screen to be sure. Matt, Somerset Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Mason Mount is coming on for the final five minutes of this game. This will be his first appearance since Boxing Day. He replaces Amad. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Benjamin Sesko goes into the book for a foul in the middle of the pitch. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd The first time Manchester United have crossed into Bournemouth's half for the last five minutes or so but the Cherries quickly win the ball back and try to create another attack. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd NINE minutes of stoppages added on. Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say No complaints about the Maguire decision but how on earth that can be a pen and the one on Amad not be given is ludicrous. Another VAR shambles and another PGMOL apology incoming. Daylight robbery. Gregory, Glasgow So they call a foul on Evanilson from Maguire but not for Adrien Truffert on Amad. And both players had their shirts pulled within the penalty box. Lloyd, Merthyr Tydfil Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Bournemouth have attempted the last seven shots in this game, Manchester United last shot was taken by Bruno Fernandes in the 61st minute. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Bournemouth continue to probe and you really wouldn't rule out a winner here. Ben Doak lofts one in but Ayden Heaven clears. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Ben Doak is on for his first appearance since last year having struggled with injury. He replaces Rayan. Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say The Maguire contact was near identical on Amad moments before Bournemouth score… if Maguire's is a foul, why isn’t it a foul on Amad? Real lack of consistency again… VAR was supposed to stop inconsistency, but instead it creates more. Chris, Warrington Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Five minutes remain of this one. Is there another twist in the tale? Bournemouth look to take advantage of their one-man advantage but they don't have long to do so. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Alan Smith Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports I was nervous looking at Eli Junior Kroupi, but it's a measure of the confidence they've got in this lad that he's prepared to step up. How well he tucks that away. How a game can turn on its head. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Michael Carrick shuffles the pack after that incident. Manuel Ugarte and Ayden Heaven are on for Matheus Cunha and Casemiro. Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd Alan Smith Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports Harry Maguire knows what he's doing. He grasps hold of the forward for not too long. He's got to go. The red card has been shown. The touch from Evanilson takes Maguire out of the game. It's not the strongest challenge you'll ever see on a forward, but that'll always be given. Junior Kroupi (81 mins, pen) Junior Kroupi has only just come on but it's a perfect composed penalty, tucked into the bottom corner and sending Senne Lammens the wrong way. You can't take your eyes off this one now. Bournemouth 1-2 Man Utd Of course, that means Bournemouth also have a penalty. Harry Maguire had earned a return to the England squad for the first time in two years earlier on Friday At a glance All four goals scored in dramatic second half Bruno Fernandes opens scoring from penalty spot Ryan Christie equalises with fine finish after Man Utd denied second penalty James Hill own goal gives Man Utd lead again Harry Maguire sent off for foul on Evanilson and Junior Kroupi equalises from spot Harry Maguire was sent off for Manchester United on the day he was recalled to the England squad as Junior Kroupi's penalty rescued a point for Bournemouth. The defender had earlier on Friday earned a return to the international fold for the first time since 2024 after being named in Thomas Tuchel's squad for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. But a day that had started so well ended in disappointment as he was shown a straight red card for pulling back Evanilson inside the box when Manchester United led 2-1. Kroupi then stepped up to calmly convert the spot-kick and earn Bournemouth a draw. All the drama happened in the second half after a goalless first 45 minutes. The visitors took the lead when they were awarded a penalty after Alex Jimenez needlessly tugged back Matheus Cunha inside the box. Bruno Fernandes stepped up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way for his eighth Premier League goal of the season. But Bournemouth were level soon after when, after Manchester United had been denied a second penalty when Amad Diallo went down inside the box, Ryan Christie slotted in a fine finish from the edge of the box. However, Manchester United regained the lead moments later when Fernandes' corner skimmed off the head of Marcos Senesi and was then then turned into the back of his own net by James Hill. All three goals came in the space of 10 dramatic minutes, before Bournemouth went close to equalising when Alex Scott's fine strike struck the woodwork, hit Senne Lammens but then bounced just wide. However there was more drama to come with nine minutes to go when Maguire gifted the hosts the chance to level from the spot, which Kroupi took. More to follow.

Premier League Kick-off. BBC Radio 5 Live. Audio Premier League Kick-off BBC Radio 5 Live Premier League All competitions All competitions All competitions Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Manchester United (W2 D3), scoring more goals in these five (13) than they did in their first 12 against the Red Devils in the division (10). Manchester United have lost just two of their eight away Premier League games against Bournemouth (W4 D2). Their last two visits to the Vitality Stadium have seen them come from behind to draw. Bournemouth have won three of their four Friday night games in the Premier League, with the exception being a 4-2 loss at Liverpool in the opening game this season. Manchester United have won just one of their five away Friday night games in the Premier League (D2 L2), beating Aston Villa 1-0 in August 2015. Bournemouth have drawn each of their last four Premier League games, three of which have been goalless. The last side to draw five consecutive matches in the competition were Fulham in December 2020/January 2021. Since Michael Carrick took charge of Manchester United in January, the Red Devils have won more Premier League games (7) and more Premier League points (22) than any other side. Bournemouth are looking to keep three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since November 2019, when they had two goalless draws followed by a 1-0 win against Manchester United. Overall they’ve kept nine clean sheets this season, only keeping more in the top-flight in 2016-17 and 2018-19 (10). Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes has been involved in eight goals in his eight Premier League games against Bournemouth (4 goals, 4 assists), though only two of these (2 goals, 0 assists) have come at the Vitality Stadium. Each of Casemiro’s last five Premier League goals this season has been assisted by Bruno Fernandes. Only Marcus Rashford has been set up by the same player more in a single campaign for Manchester United in the competition (6 by Fernandes in 2022-23). Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes has created 6+ chances in each of his last three Premier League games, the first player to do so since Trent Alexander-Arnold in December 2023. No player on record (from 2003-04) has created six or more chances in four successive appearances in the competition. Copyright © 2026 BBC.
