John Brewin has filed his match report from the ground, so that\u2019s my cue to go and find a piece of cheese. Thanks for your company and correspondence, and I\u2019m sorry not to have got through it all \u2013 one minute this game was a stalemate, the next it was 2-2. Do join Scott Murray for the next game in the Premier League<\/a>, in which another team from the north west turn up on the south coast: Brighton v Liverpool, 12.30pm (GMT) tomorrow. And, for now, do have a look at John\u2019s report. The first word in the headline had to be Maguire.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And here\u2019s Michael Carrick, being less diplomatic than usual. \u201cTo give one [of those penalty shouts] and not give the other, it\u2019s crazy,\u201d he says. \u201cI just don\u2019t understand it\u2026. Massive, absolutely massive. That\u2019s what VAR is for. Baffling really.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked about making sure of being third for the next three weeks, he says: \u201cWe\u2019re in a good place. We could have had more tonight but we\u2019ll take it and come back stronger\u2026 We\u2019ve made a lot of steps, I\u2019m happy with the way things have gone but there\u2019s still room for improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n A philosophical take on the refereeing. \u201cWhatever the merits or otherwise of the decisions tonight,\u201d says David Howell, \u201cseeing a literal two-goal swing from one feels like a great illustration of how, in a sport as low-scoring as this, individual refereeing decisions \u2013 often sufficiently subjective as to cause actual professionals to disagree even after seeing all the angles \u2013 have an absolutely massive impact.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m instinctively pro-VAR, but I think its existence ultimately shines a spotlight on just how often football matches swing dramatically in ways functionally indistinguishable from luck.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSeen worse 4 goal draws,\u201d says Dave Estherby. \u201cNeither team really needs the 3 points as a Champions League\/mid-table place await the visitors\/hosts respectively.<\/p>\n \u201cMaguire\u2019s an idiot, Tommy T won\u2019t like that one bit. Also, sterling work by Utd to lay on the buses for the fans for the long journey back to London…\u201d Ouch!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Here\u2019s Bruno Fernandes, echoing Cole. \u201cMore or less the same situation as the Amad one. I can understand the referee not wanting to give two penalties to the same team, but what I don\u2019t understand is that the VAR doesn\u2019t get involved. He feels those decisions often go \u201cagainst the small players\u201d.<\/p>\n Asked about the result, he says: \u201cI\u2019m disappointed because we did enough to get that three points\u2026 We had to finish the game with a lot of suffering\u2026 The frustration is also with ourselves because we could have gone 3-1 up.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if United have more fighting spirit under Carrick, Fernandes says no, he feels that has always been there. \u201cBut with Michael we\u2019ve been in very good form.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a018.21 EDT<\/p>\n Now they\u2019re showing Amad\u2019s penalty shout (not given) and the penalty Maguire conceded. \u201cFor me,\u201d Andy Cole says, \u201cthere is no difference.\u201d Maybe it\u2019s just that Evanilson was more central, closer to the goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Sky is replaying the sequence that led to the United penalty. I was a bit harsh on Cunha, who did very well to win it \u2013 chesting the ball down, running at Jimenez, bursting between him and another defender, then going down when Jimenez grabbed a piece of his shirt.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n United show their Achilles heel again, dropping points on the road, under lights, against a team lower down the table. But they did well to avoid defeat as they played 22 minutes with ten men. They were under the cosh even before Maguire was sent off: the shot count spun round, from 11-4 to United in the first half to 12-3 to Bournemouth<\/a> in the second and 16-14 to Bournemouth overall. The final score (goals, not shots) could easily have been 4-4 again.<\/p>\n United now have 55 points, which means they\u2019ll remain third over the Easter holidays even if their nearest rivals, Villa, win on Sunday. Bournemouth stay 10th for now, with 42 points, but they will spend the weekend looking over their shoulders at Fulham (41), Brighton and Sunderland (both 40), and even Palace (39).<\/p>\n To see the whole table, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n So Bournemouth<\/a> draw for the fifth game running. At least this one had plenty of goals. The headlines will be grabbed by Harry Maguire: handed an England recall in the morning, handed a red card in the evening.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>FULL TIME! Bournemouth 2-2 Man United<\/p>\n It was a game of two halves: half a 0-0, and half a 4-4.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+10 min They take the free kick short, which I wasn\u2019t expecting. Then they fiddle about a bit, but still win a corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+9 min Free kick to Bournemouth! Wide on the left, 35 yards out.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+9 min There\u2019s been a hold-up which will push the game past the 100-minute mark. Still time for Bournemouth<\/a> to nick it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+7 min Shaw wins a free kick 40 yards out. Mount, following it up, retrieves the ball and there\u2019s one last chance for Fernandes. His shot is on target but blocked.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.55 EDT<\/p>\n 90+6 min United sub: off goes Amad, on comes the lesser-spotted Mason Mount.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+5 min The next yellow card goes to Sesko, for giving Senesi a shove as a long ball comes their way. This looks being one of those rare games in which Sesko comes on and doesn\u2019t score.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+5 min A cross reaches Evanilsen, who sends a looping header over the bar.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min Fernandes and Shaw combine to get United into the final third. Then they fail to combine and Fernandes\u2019 pass goes straight out of play.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 min Mainoo drives through midfield and Smith gets a yellow card for pulling him back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min Another calm catch by Lammens. He needs to go long, surely, just to relieve the pressure.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min This will be the first of NINE minutes of added time. Bournemouth<\/a> could win it 4-2!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min A caption inform us that Junior Kroupi now has nine goals this season, seven more than any other teenager. ANother shot comes in, from Truffert, but Lammens has it covered.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 min Bournemouth<\/a> string together about 20 passes. United win the ball back but can\u2019t get out of their left-back zone. A Bournemouth cross is headed away, crucially, by Heaven.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 min Andoni Iraola makes another sub. Off goes Rayan, on comes Ben Gannon-Doak for a rare outing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min Brooks cruises into the box and takes a shot that is blocked by Yoro \u2013 now United\u2019s senior centre-back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min United\u2019s last two visits to Bournemouth<\/a> have ended in a draw. They\u2019d probably settle for a third.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.42 EDT<\/p>\n 84 min Casemiro went off too, to be replaced by Manuel Ugarte. The momentum is with Bournemouth<\/a>, and so is the ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 min Carrick responds by sending on Ayden Heaven to take Maguire\u2019s place at the back. Heaven has played seven minutes in Carrick\u2019s ten games in charge. And the man sacrificed is Cunha! That\u2019s a surprise.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Bournemouth 2-2 Man United (Kroupi pen 80)<\/p>\n There it is! Yet another equaliser. Kroupi goes left, Lammens goes the other way.<\/p>\n Eli Junior Kroupi.

Harry Maguire sent off<\/p>\n Maguire\u2019s red-letter day has just gone horribly wrong. He put a hand on Evanilson\u2019s chest. It\u2019s soft, and he\u2019s saying so in no uncertain terms, but he\u2019ll have to go.<\/p>\n Harry Maguire is shown the red card. Photograph: James Marsh\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a018.02 EDT<\/p>\n 77 min This is Bournemouth\u2019s highest-scoring game since 10 February, when they won 2-1 at Everton. And they look as if they can smell their next equaliser.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 min Shot! Scott hits a screamer onto the bar, it rebounds onto Lammen\u2019s back and somehow doesn\u2019t end up in the net.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min Subs! For Bournemouth<\/a> \u2013 Brooks and Smith replace Adli and Jimenez.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!! Bournemouth 1-2 Man United (Hill OG 71)<\/p>\n How do you celebrate an England recall at 33? If you\u2019re Harry Maguire, by forcing an error at the back post which restores your team\u2019s lead. The error was Senesi\u2019s I think \u2013 nothing poor Hill could do about it.<\/p>\n Photograph: Graham Hunt\/ProSports\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.41 EDT<\/p>\n 70 min United go searching for their lost lead and Cunha wins a corner.<\/p>\n On the bench, it\u2019s Sesko time! On comes United\u2019s supersub and off comes Mbeumo, who\u2019s been looking weary for the past month.<\/p>\n
