Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Manchester United FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Paul Pogba adds to his 0 season tally! Manchester United FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 10' David De Gea, a Spain , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Victor Nilsson-Lindelof has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 409 appearances.
  • 20' Manchester United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Charlie Daniels suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Lys Mousset is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester United FC tonight.
  • 33' Magnificent from Paul Pogba! That is 34 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 36' Controversy at the stadium! Ashley Young argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 41' It’s high time Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 45' Marcus Rashford adds to his 1 season tally! Manchester United FC lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 47' Nathan Ake adds to his 0 season tally! AFC Bournemouth lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 51' Ander Herrera has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 51.
  • 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. Manchester United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 66' Another substitution for AFC Bournemouth to replace Callum Wilson by Ryan Fraser on 66 minute.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Romelu Lukaku. He replaces Marcus Rashford on 70 minute.
  • 72' GOAL! Romelu Lukaku fires home to make it 4-1!
  • 76' Andreas Pereira is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ander Herrera at the 76 minute mark.
  • 79' Eric Bailly catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 79.
  • 82' Manchester United FC ring the changes. Anthony Martial has done his job and it is now time for Phil Jones to step up.
  • 87' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Manchester United FC to claim maximum points.
