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.

It’s been Bournemouth who look more likely to score since the goal, with the Cherries continuing to pressure the away defence.
United haven’t created much at all so far and it’s telling now, with the hosts in plenty of control.

GOAL! The hosts are ahead!
It’s poor from United, as Dorgu gives it away near his own area and the Cherries are in the box in a flash, with the cross fired in to Evanilson.
The striker lays it off brilliantly to an unmarked Semenyo, who rifles a low effort past Onana!

There was actually a brief VAR check for a red card for that challenge, as Adams had flown in studs up on the ankle, but it’s just a yellow.

Much better from United as it’s worked to Garnacho, who sees the space open up for him before rifling a low effort past the far post.

A needless challenge from Dorgu gives the hosts a free-kick on the right wing.
From the set-piece, Kerkez swings it in but there’s a foul given against Huijsen.
