We asked for your thoughts after Friday’s Premier League game between Bournemouth and Manchester United.
Here are some of your comments:
Bournemouth fans
Charl: First-class performance from the whole squad, including timely substitutions. Bournemouth never let up, they kept the pressure on United until the last kick – superb! Every player deserves credit. Andoni Iraola, you are a magician!
Tony: A fairly even first half, but Bournemouth continued to grow in the second period and by the end looked more likely winners, even without the sending off. Good game!
Simon: Another draw but happy with that, and the performance coming from behind twice. Other years, Cherries lose that by two or three goals. All three penalty decisions were correct and good to see VAR supporting on-field decision for once, empowering a referee further. Pleased Christie scored and with his right foot. Kroupi did well with his penalty kick. Seven more games, and seven wins instead of more draws?
Phillip: Crazy game, but we take a point!
Man Utd fans
Adam: The team is alive right now, and it’s fantastic to see after how bad things were under the previous coach. It’s just a shame that awful refereeing decisions stole the show and denied victory. Like the Afcon final, will United get the three points on appeal or at least a rematch? Seems only fair after the farcical performance from the officials.
Chris: It’s a pity a poor refereeing decision is yet again the main talking point. It overshadowed what would have been a good result had United been awarded a second penalty. That said, there were periods United were in control but couldn’t find the killer pass to finish Bournemouth off and, if you can’t do that, you will always be vulnerable. Arguably, United’s display deserved more than a single point. Despite the points dropped, they are still masters of their own destiny.
Lyn: Once again, a referee/VAR screws up – nothing new there. Once again, we get ahead and then fall off – nothing new there. We struggle against high-intensity teams and that needs to be addressed in summer. Overall, though, a draw is OK.
Bob: Excellent performance and an exciting game utterly ruined by another woeful display from PGMOL.
