Bruno Fernandes puts Manchester United ahead against Bournemouth before Cherries hit back

Bournemouth vs Manchester United has come alive in the second half of their Friday night encounter in the Premier League, with both teams scoring heading into the closing stages.

The Red Devils took the lead with 30 minutes left to play, after some good work from Matheus Cunha saw the Brazilian win a penalty, after being dragged back in the box after beating two red shirts.

Captain Bruno Fernandes stepped up and calmly slotted the spot kick into the far corner, before wheeling off to celebrate.

But that was not the end of the drama. With United suddenly looking comfortable, Amad Diallo lost the ball in the Bournemouth box, before the home side broke from one end to pitch to the other.

Eventually, Ryan Christie shifted the ball into a slight bit of space, before curling the ball past Senne Lammens and into the far corner.
