Updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off at Old Trafford Premier League’s top scorers | Standings | Email Niall 97 mins: Eek! Zirkzee’s header across goal is hooked away from danger, and now Bournemouth can break one more time … 96 mins: Adam Smith is sent to the touchline because his mouth is bleeding, and is completely livid at having to wait to come back on. In the meantime, Senesi’s shot is well struck, but saved by Lammens at his near post. 95 mins: Ooooof! Instead, he throws it short (if that’s the phrase) to Gimenez, who whips in a brilliant ball across the United area. Brooks gets a head to it and seems certain to score, but Lammens sticks a leg out to save! 94 mins: Brooks’ free kick is headed awkwardly behind by Zirkzee, and Bournemouth have a corner … which is flicked clear at the far post by Mainoo. Semenyo can launch another long throw … 93 mins: Mbeumo is going off, as is Luke Shaw. On come Patrick Dorgu and Joshua Zirkzee. 92 mins: Semenyo heaves a long throw into the box but United clear it and break through Sesko. He finds Amad, who moves it on to Fernandes, whose low cross zips beyond Mbeumo. 90 mins: Tavernier and Kluivert go off, replaced by David Brooks and James Hill, a homegrown centre-back. Pulling down the shutters, Andoni? For shame. 89 mins: Eight added minutes. Buckle up! Cunha tries an ambitious shot from the corner of the area that Petrovic gets behind easily. 88 mins: Both teams have a chance to run at the other’s defence, the whole concept of midfields abandoned. Semenyo, and then Sesko, fail to make the most of the options in front of them. 86 mins: Sir Alex Ferguson is watching on in utter bemusement as both sets of players steel themselves for stoppage time. Does this ridiculous see-saw battle have a knockout blow? United seemed to have swept this game away from Bournemouth again, but their defence stands off here and get punished. Jimenez prods a ball into the path of Kroupi, under pressure, who drills the ball into the bottom corner and backflips away in celebration. Outrageous, egregious, preposterous. Come on, this is getting silly now. Substitute Eli Junior Kroupi has Bournemouth back on level terms … again! 81 mins: A bit of admin to cover off – Smith and Senesi were both booked for their complaints before Bruno’s free kick, which feels like a long time ago already. Bournemouth just couldn’t get organised after Bruno’s goal, and Sesko carries the ball down the left. He aims a cross towards Diallo and although Truffert intercepts, he stumbles and presents the ball to Cunha, eight yards out. He takes a touch and drills it home! What a comeback. What a game! Manchester United retake the lead with Bournemouth all at sea – and it’s Matheus Cunha who gets the goal! 78 mins: Iraola makes a change, bringing Eli Kroupi on for Evanilson. Has the pendulum swung again in this game? Oh, wow. You could almost sense this was coming, as Fernandes steps up and sends an unstoppable free kick into the far corner, flicking off the crossbar as a final flourish. United are level, and time’s on their side … 76 mins: Bournemouth don’t get the ball away and United get a free kick on the edge of the area after Fernandes’ cross is handled by Smith. Bruno will take it … 75 mins: Another opening for the hosts as Mainoo picks up the ball again and finds Cunha, whose swerving shot stings Petrovic’s palms! 74 mins: Mainoo moves forward and tries to find Sesko, but Senesi does well to nick the ball away. 73 mins: From a Bournemouth corner, Amad leads a charge downfield and crosses for Mbeumo – but his attempted through ball to Shaw is overcooked. 72 mins: Sesko has joined Mbeumo up front, with Cunha dropping to the left. Gary Neville believes this is a proper back four, but I’m not sure – Dalot has moved to the right, but Shaw now seems to be further forward. 70 mins: Cunha’s shot is charged down, leading to big calls for handball – but in the meantime, the rebound lands to Mbeumo, who blazes over from five yards out! He’s had chances tonight but just seems to keep snatching at them. 68 mins: Two more United changes – Lisandro Martínez replaces Yoro, and Benjamin Sesko is on for Mount. The big striker was due back from a knee injury but then suffered a bout of food poisoning. 66 mins: An unconvincing night for Petrovic continues, as the keeper palms Cunha’s cross-shot off the bar and behind. The corner ricochets into his arms, while Smith is left on the deck and looks a little dazed. 64 mins: United are far from resigned to defeat here, still poking plenty of holes in the visiting defence. Mount hooks in a teasing cross that evades Petrovic – but Cunha is just in the wrong place and the ball sails beyond him. “When was the last time United lost a league game at home after having the lead at half-time? ” asks F. “I am thinking it must be close to 40 years. ” It’s never happened in the Premier League era, and I think the last time was in 1984, against Ipswich Town. 62 mins: Mainoo’s energy is needed in midfield, where Casemiro and Fernandes have been getting overrun. On the edge of the Bournemouth area, Mount finds Mbeumo, whose hurried shot lacks any real power. 61 mins: Amorim makes his first change, and it’s a popular one with the home fans – Kobbie Mainoo is coming on for Casemiro! 60 mins: At the other end, frustrated home fans urge Amad, then Mbeumo, then Fernandes to shoot from the edge of the area, and groan as the latter tries a scoop pass that doesn’t come off. 59 mins: United give the ball away and Bournemouth have a three-on-three – but Heaven does well to read Kluivert’s pass and clear the danger. 58 mins: Amad sends a cross skipping and bouncing across the area, but nobody is there to meet it and Mount can’t keep it in on the far side. “To play like Bournemouth requires self-belief, ” says Kari Tulinius. “If a lesser side gave up a goal as silly as United’s second, heads could drop. Especially given their run lately. But they back themselves, and now they’re ahead. ” Yes, credit where it’s due. The United of the first half don’t seem to be out here now, though. 55 mins: United are trying to haul themselves off the canvas, but Fernandes sends a chipped cross well behind Petrovic’s goal. 54 mins: Gary Neville thinks Lammers should have done better with that Tavernier free kick, suggesting the keeper was caught on his heels. I think he was unsighted by Fernandes and Cunha, who left a big gap between them for some reason.
