Bournemouth came from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester United in an action-packed Premier League encounter at the Vitality Stadium.

After a quiet first half, the game burst into life after the break. Manchester United took the lead in the 61st minute when Bruno Fernandes converted from the penalty spot.

The hosts responded quickly, with Ryan Christie equalising just six minutes later. United went ahead again in the 71st minute through an own goal by James Hill, but Bournemouth refused to back down.

The match turned in the 78th minute when United defender Harry Maguire was shown a red card, leaving the visitors with ten men. Bournemouth capitalised on the advantage, and substitute Eli Junior Kroupi scored from the penalty spot in the 81st minute to make it 2-2.

Despite late pressure from the home side, Manchester United held on to earn a point. However, they will be disappointed after surrendering the lead twice, while Bournemouth showed resilience to extend their run of draws.
