Bournemouth vs Manchester United LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Bruno Fernandes scored twice to rescue an unconvincing 2-2 draw for Manchester United at Bournemouth as they dropped to seventh place in the Premier League table on Saturday.
The Portuguese came to the rescue after Bournemouth had deservedly led with goals by the in-form Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert and although the visitors pressed for a winner, it would have been undeserved.
United, who have gone four league games without a win, are on 50 points from 32 games, below Newcastle United on goal difference.
Bournemouth created a host of early chances and led through Solanke's clinical finish before Fernandes levelled against the run of play in the 31st minute.
Kluivert took advantage of more poor defending to restore Bournemouth's lead soon afterwards but Fernandes dispatched a second-half penalty after a handball by Adam Smith to earn his team a point

Alan Smith backs Mason Mount to kicstarst Manchester United career
16:26 , Jonathan Gorrie
Speaking to betting sites reviewer Oddspedia, Smith said: “Obviously it has been a difficult introduction, not just for himself, but at this moment in time there was a lot of pressure on the players that were signed.
“I don’t know him personally or his characteristics, but he kept his head down and kept working to try and make an impact, and then had an injury which is difficult for any player – especially when you’ve signed somewhere and you want to fit in, do your best and prove to people that you’re good enough to be there. It’s probably the hardest thing to do when you get a setback, and then to come back and prove your worth to people.
“If you hit the ground running and you start off well, it’s a lot easier to settle. I’m sure hehimself won’t be expecting to just walk back into the team.”
