performance, United
slip to defeat against
high-flying Bournemouth
at the Vitality Stadium.
After a goalless firsthalf,
United took the
lead when Morgan
Gibbs-White converted
Billy Sharp’s cross. The
game was then turned
out its head when a
debatable penalty was
awarded to the hosts,
converted by Dominic
Solanke. Three minutes
later Philip Billing made
it 2-1 to Bournemouth
and despite some late
concerted pressure,
the Cherries held on for
maximum points.
