Match timeline and key moments

Six minutes later, Diallo fell under a challenge from Truffert. The VAR allowed Ryan Christie’s finish to stand, and Bournemouth levelled the score. United then regained the lead in the 70th minute. A Fernandes corner was diverted by Senesi and found the net off James Hill.
The match turned again at 77 minutes. Harry Maguire was sent off for a foul on Evanilson inside the area. Junior Kroupi stepped up from the penalty spot eight minutes later to make it 2-2. The 19-year-old Frenchman had entered the game only seven minutes earlier.
