AFC Bournemouth delivered one of the best performances this season at Old Trafford, shocking Manchester United 3-0 in a Premier League contest. The visitors showed their prowess up front and defensive solidity at the back to earn a shut-out and move to fifth on the league table as Manchester United slumped to the 13th place in the table.
The first goal of the night was made in the 29th minute when Dean Huijsen converted a set piece with an assist of precision from Ryan Christie. In the second half, Bournemouth extended their lead by as much as scoring by Justin Kluivert in the 61st minute and, closely on their heels, two minutes after that, by Antoine Semenyo when he took perfect advantage of Dango Ouattara’s setting up for him.
After the match, the manager of Bournemouth was full of praise for how his team improved their finishing and tactical application. “I’m happy we were more clinical today. Scoring from a set play gives us an extra edge because we’re usually a smaller team,” Iraola explained. He described the effort his team put in as being “solid.”.
Manchester United will face Wolverhampton on December 26, Newcastle on December 30, and will be away at Liverpool on January 5. Bournemouth will face Crystal Palace on December 26, Fulham on December 29, and Everton at home on January 4.
