Premier League: Maguire sent off as Bournemouth hold Manchester United to 2–2 draw

AFC Bournemouth and Manchester United played out an entertaining 2–2 draw at the Vitality Stadium, a match that saw Harry Maguire sent off in the second half. United took the lead on the hour when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty after Matheus Cunha was fouled by Alex Jimenez. According to theNew York Times, six minutes later, Ryan Christie pulled Bournemouth level, finishing off a swift counter-attack.

United regained the lead almost immediately when James Hill diverted a corner into his own net. But the momentum shifted when Maguire was shown a red card for bringing down Evanilson inside the penalty area. Junior Kroupi stepped up and dispatched the resulting spot kick to make it 2–2.

The draw means United remain third in the Premier League table, while Bournemouth sit 10th after recording their fifth consecutive draw. Both teams now head into a long break due to the international window followed by the FA Cup quarter-final weekend. Bournemouth next face league leaders Arsenal on April 11, while Manchester United host Leeds United on April 13.
