Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth in a Premier League clash on Saturday night.

The Red Devils came from behind twice, both times through captain Bruno Fernandes, whose second goal was from the penalty spot.

Bournemouth thought they had won a penalty late in the game but it was overturned by VAR, as both sides had to settle for a draw.

Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert were the goalscorers for the hosts.
