Bournemouth v Man Utd LIVE: Reaction as Hojlund scores in stoppage time to salvage a point for visitors
Bournemouth 1-1 Man Utd: Rasmus Hojlund scored late on to rescue a point for United after the hosts had Evanilson controversially sent off
Rasmus Hojlund scored a stoppage-time equaliser to earn Manchester United a late point in their Premier League match against Bournemouth on Sunday.
The Cherries started off well on the south coast and limited United to very little before pouncing on a defensive mistake to score first, with Antoine Semenyo rifling in an accomplished finish to give them the lead at the break.
United toiled for much of the match and the Cherries came within inches of extending their lead as Dango Ouattara’s free-kick rattled the woodwork, before United were offered a lifeline as Evanilson was given a controversial red card after a VAR review.
United went up a gear after the sending off, with Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes going close, before the late pressure paid off for the visitors as Hojlund bundled in after Luke Shaw’s cross to rescue a point – and some pride – for United ahead of their Europa League semi-final.

Pretty damning for United that even with 10 men, you’re still expecting Bournemouth to see this one out.
The visitors are getting forward but there’s just nothing to their attacking play once they get around the box.
