BOURNEMOUTH \u2013 Bruno Fernandes got a goal and an assist and Harry Maguire marked his return to the England squad by getting a red card as Manchester United drew 2-2 at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Friday.<\/p>\n
After a dull first half, Fernandes, so often United\u2019s saviour, put the visitor ahead from the penalty spot an hour in.<\/p>\n
Ryan Christie equalized for Bournemouth with a perfectly executed low shot six minutes later.<\/p>\n
Fernandes\u2019 in-swinging corner was headed into his own goal by James Hill under pressure from Maguire at the far post.<\/p>\n
Then with 12 minutes remaining Maguire \u2014 who hours earlier was named in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s squad for pre-World Cup friendlies against Uruguay and Japan \u2014 was red-carded for bringing down Evanilson in the box.<\/p>\n
Teenage Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi converted the penalty to make it 2-2.<\/p>\n
The home side threw everything at its more illustrious visitor during a frantic final push but could not get a winner. Instead, it was a fifth consecutive draw for the Cherries, whose unbeaten run clicked on to 11 matches.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy for the performance \u2014 it\u2019s a decent point always when you face United,” Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola said. “But in the big picture it\u2019s five draws in a row. It doesn\u2019t give you a lot in the standings. Probably, especially at the end, we were looking for a win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bournemouth was 10th in the table.<\/p>\n
United remained in third place, six points behind Manchester City, but captain Fernandes could not hide his disappointment at not taking all three points.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were in front two times, we gave it away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
