Manchester United took on Bournemouth on Friday night, with the game being as equally matched as the 4-4 draw in December.
It was a closely contested tie between the two sides, with Manchester United and Bournemouth both having chances and defending well.
That was until Matheus Cunha won a penalty for Bruno Fernandes to convert, putting United into the lead in the second-half.
Bournemouth then responded through Ryan Christie. But this equaliser didn’t last long as United’s lead was restored through an own-goal.
However, Harry Maguire was shown a red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, with the resulting penalty seeing a Cherries equaliser.
This left United on the ropes, but they held on for a 2-2 draw. United is likely pleased to have held on with 10 men for almost 20 minutes.

Senne Lammens – 7
Made a handful of good saves, looked composed as ever. Again, unlucky to concede with a penalty and an effort just beyond his grasp.

Diogo Dalot – 6
Solid defensively, but still a bit of a weakness in attacking positions.
Leny Yoro – 6.5
Quickly becoming undroppable in this team, solid in and out of possession.
Harry Maguire – 4.5
Was having a strong game, but a silly foul and red card gave Bournemouth their equaliser. Ultimately cost his side two points and should know better in this day and age.
Luke Shaw – 6
Good outing from the full-back, continues his campaign to remember despite no return to the England fold.
Casemiro – 6.5
One more year? Another fine performance, which makes it frustrating that he is leaving this summer, as he looks completely up to scratch.
Kobbie Mainoo – 6.5
Looked good in midfield, had a real spring in his step with possession, picking out some brilliant passes.
Amad – 6.5
Looked dangerous at times in the early stages, but his finishing ultimately lacked a cutting edge, as it has all season.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
Scored the opener for United with another coolly placed penalty finish. Captain Fantastic stepped up again. Was also making some brilliant passes all game long.
Matheus Cunha – 7
Caused the Bournemouth defence some serious issues and won the penalty.
Bryan Mbeumo – 6
Another pretty anonymous performance, which begs the question of whether United should make a change up front.
Benjamin Sesko – 5
Not afforded the chance to have an impact going forward. Booked for bullying Senesi with his strength.
Manuel Ugarte – 5
Held it down in midfield, but offered little.
Ayden Heaven – 5
Cameo went unnoticed, but that is likely a good thing, as he helped shore up the defence.
Mason Mount – 5.5
Returned from injury with a couple of minutes of action, playing so well.
