Bournemouth recorded a stunning 3-0 victory over struggling Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, heaping more pressure on Ruben Amorim’s side.
The Red Devils have struggled significantly to save set pieces this season, so it’s no surprise Bournemouth Took the lead through a free kick. Ryan Christie’s superb ball took out the head of Dean Huijsen, who evaded his marker and headed past Andre Onana.
Bournemouth doubled their advantage when Nousser Mazroi beat Justin Kluivert in the penalty area with a composed spot kick, with the Dutch forward giving the visitors a buffer.
That cushion would be extended to three goals just two minutes later, when Antoine Semenyo headed home following a Bournemouth drive down the left. It was not more than the visitors deserved.
Alejandro Garnacho came close to cutting the deficit and providing a lifeline combined Just over a minute later, however, the returning Argentine could not beat Capa Arrizabalaga with a tame effort.
Bournemouth, who won 3-0 at Old Trafford last season, held firm in the closing stages despite the pressure at home, securing an impressive three points and a clean sheet in their final match before Christmas.
