He Manchester United maintained its decadent line at the Vitality Stadium and signed a draw (2-2) once morest the Bournemouth with whom he abandoned sixth place in a crash in which he miraculously survived the large first part of the men led by Andoni Iraola
Again, and there are already 18 this season, the Manchester United He stumbled once more. She is a constant in the men of Erik ten Haag, that do not raise their heads and accumulate a negative trend with which they seem to show that they do not want to sign up for Europe next year. On this occasion, the Bournemouthunder the masterful direction of Iraola, was responsible for giving another slap to the continental aspirations of the “Red Devils.”
It was in the first half in which United showed all their shortcomings. And he stayed alive by chance, with a 2-1 that allowed him to reach the next act with aspirations. He restWithout a doubt, it was a balm for a team that accumulated constant defensive errors with which it was able to kiss the canvas definitively.
He Bournemouth It was a quick clash, with a lot of pressure and verticality at the top and defensive solidity at the back. Special mention for Marcos Senesi. The Argentine centre-back’s performance was impressive, as he advanced his position on many occasions and was very important in holding Hojlund down and bothering him in the center of the field. He even allowed himself the luxury of adding a couple of assists to his statistics.
Also shipwrecked Casemiro. The years do not pass in vain and as the only pivot, he suffers. You need someone by your side because you no longer cover as much ground as before. And his was one of the errors that caused one of Bournemouth’s goals. Specifically, in the second, the work of Justin Kluivert following half an hour. Casemiro arrived late to cover and the Bournemouth forward shot at Onana’s short post to celebrate his team’s second.
But first, the Manchester United He had to bail out water constantly. Bournemouth did not stop generating chances. In the first clear, Solanke hit the target. He took advantage of a robbery by Senesi Grenache in the center of the field to beat Onana with his 17th goal of the course in the Premier League, his club’s record: no player had previously been over 16.
And then the carousel of options followed: Kerkez, before Drunk, crashed a ball into the body of the African goalkeeper; Sinisterra, before getting injured, touched the post with a shot from outside the area; Christie also tried it from close range following a mistake in a delivery of Casemiro; Ouattara stroked the goal with another tight strike; and Kerkez closed the first half with a header once morest the crossbar.
Meanwhile, the Manchester United It generated almost nothing. Only Bruno Fernandes, On an isolated occasion, he shot Neto and achieved an undeserved reward for his team, who left alive for the locker room. He still had 45 minutes left to settle a duel that was headed for disaster.
After the resumption, the Bournemouth He mightn’t keep up. He lowered the intensity and gave the team a break. Ten Haguewho did not improve much either and the sky opened up for him with an absurd hand inside Smith’s area that he did not waste. Bruno Fernandes from eleven meters.
The Portuguese player scored in the 65th minute. United He had half an hour left to win a game he didn’t deserve. However, the duel entered a trance in which both teams put away their clothes. There was no more. Bournemouth missed a victim who miraculously survived. Even the VAR intervened to rescue United in added time, which was saved from a penalty by Kambwala on Christie that turned into a foul. Enes Unal He crashed it once morest the barrier and the Ten Haag team had its fourth consecutive puncture that keeps it out of Europe. Newcastle, following their thrashing of Tottenham (4-0), occupied their desired sixth place.
