Man United draw with Bournemouth as England star sent off and controversial decision sparks fan fury

The Cherries found the net through Christie and Kroupi, with the latter converting from the penalty spot to secure a point for the hosts.

The match saw dramatic late twists as Michael Carrick's side were reduced to 10 men in the closing stages, leaving them to hold on for a draw despite leading on two separate occasions.

Harry Maguire's evening took a dramatic turn when he was dismissed for hauling down Evanilson as the Brazilian forward attempted to advance past him.

The centre-back was shown a straight red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, with the referee deeming him the last defender.

Maguire's protests proved futile as the foul was clear and the punishment unavoidable.

The dismissal carried particular irony given that earlier in the day, England manager Thomas Tuchel had selected the defender for his upcoming international squad.

Bournemouth were awarded a penalty from the incident, which Kroupi subsequently converted to level the scores at 2-2.

The initial deadlock was first broken shortly after the hour mark when Cunha was pulled back by Jimenez inside the penalty area, with the Bournemouth defender receiving a booking for the infringement.

Fernandes stepped up and sent Petrovic the wrong way, rolling the ball into the bottom left corner to give United the advantage.

The hosts responded swiftly through Christie, who finished coolly from the edge of the box following a rapid counter-attack.

United fans were left furious after United's appeals for a second penalty were dismissed moments before the goal up the other end.

Truffert had his hands on Diallo, but it was deemed not enough contact to force Diallo to go to the ground.

United regained their lead when Fernandes delivered a cross that Senesi flicked on, with the ball deflecting off Hill and into the net.

Scott came agonisingly close to getting an equaliser for the hosts when his curling effort from outside the box crashed against the crossbar.

However, it was Kroupi's penalty that split the points.

The referee added nine minutes of stoppage time, during which Bournemouth pressed for a winner with their numerical advantage.

Both the Cherries and United were unable to find a decisive third goal.

The contest mirrored the extraordinary encounter between these two sides earlier in the season, when they played out a remarkable 4-4 draw in the reverse fixture.
