Manchester United Shocked At Home As Bournemouth Triumph 3-0
By Benjamin Abioye
In a jaw-dropping turn of events at Old Trafford, Bournemouth handed Manchester United a stunning 3-0 defeat, leaving the home crowd stunned and silent.
The match, which had all the buildup of a classic United performance, saw the visitors dominating from start to finish with clinical precision and tactical brilliance.
It was an action-packed first half, but it was Bournemouth who struck first. Dean Huijsen’s header from a perfectly timed cross by Ryan Christie gave the visitors the advantage in the 29th minute. Despite Manchester United’s efforts, with Bruno Fernandes testing Kepa Arrizabalaga from distance, they couldn’t break through the Bournemouth defense.
The second half started with United pushing hard for an equalizer, but Bournemouth quickly squashed any hopes of a comeback. In the 61st minute, a VAR review awarded the Cherries a penalty after Noussair Mazraoui tripped Justin Kluivert. The Dutch winger made no mistake from the spot, sending goalkeeper Andre Onana the wrong way for a 2-0 lead.
But Bournemouth wasn’t done yet. In the 63rd minute, Antoine Semenyo finished off a brilliant team move with a powerful left-foot strike, making it 3-0. At this point, the Manchester United fans had seen enough, with some leaving the stands early as the Cherries cruised to victory.
Despite a solid 59% possession for United and several shots on goal, they were unable to make an impact against a well-organized Bournemouth side. The Red Devils’ frustration was evident as they struggled to break down a defense that had answers for everything they threw at it.
With this result, Bournemouth not only claimed a well-deserved victory but also sent a clear message to the Premier League – they are here to fight. Meanwhile, Manchester United will need to regroup and find answers as their poor form at home continues.
