Manchester United and Bournemouth delivered an unforgettable Premier League spectacle, playing out a dramatic 4–4 draw at Old Trafford in one of the games of the season.
United made a bright start and took the lead in the 13th minute when Amad Diallo tapped in from point-blank range to ignite the home crowd. Bournemouth responded just before the break, with Antoine Semenyo capitalising on possession won from Luke Shaw on the right flank before driving forward and finishing past Senne Lammens in the 40th minute.
The hosts restored their advantage in first-half stoppage time as Bruno Fernandes produced an inch-perfect cross into the box, allowing Casemiro to rise highest and head home.
Bournemouth came out firing after the restart and drew level almost immediately through Evanilson. The visitors then turned the match on its head in the 52nd minute, as Marcus Tavernier struck to give Bournemouth the lead for the first time.
The drama continued late into the second half. In the 77th minute, Bruno Fernandes calmly converted a penalty, curling the ball into the top-right corner. Just two minutes later, United reclaimed the lead for the third time, sending Old Trafford into raptures.
However, there was one final twist. In the 84th minute, 19-year-old Eli Junior Kroupi broke home hearts with a crucial equaliser for Bournemouth, ensuring the points were shared.
At full time, the disappointment was evident around Old Trafford. Manchester United were left to rue a missed opportunity to draw level on points with Chelsea and break into the Premier League’s top five, while Bournemouth earned a memorable result in a match that will be remembered as a true Premier League classic.
