00:00Rasmus Hodglin's injury-time goal grabbed a point for Manchester United as 10-man Bournemouth suffered a blow to their hopes of European qualification.
00:08Andoni Irelia's men looked set for victory thanks to Antoine Semenyo's 11th goal of the season midway though the first half.
00:15But the contest turned on a controversial decision to upgrade Ivanilson's 70th-minute challenge on Nisair Masraoui from a yellow card to a red following a video assistant referee, VAR, review.
00:26Ivanilson appeared to slip as he closed down the United defender but referee Peter Banks upgraded his initial yellow card, meaning the Brazilian must now serve a three-match ban.
00:36United piled forward looking for an equaliser and after Mason Mount's shot had been deflected wide, Hodglin turned Manuel Ligarte's effort home from close range after the Uruguay midfielder had been set up by Luke Shaw.
00:47The result lifts Ruben Amram's side to 14th in the Premier League but, in truth, their sights are fully trained on Thursday's Europa League semi-final first leg trip to Athletic Bilbao.
00:57But the goal is devastating for Bournemouth, who remain below Fulham and Brighton in the quest for an 8th-place finish which would secure a spot in next season's UEFA Conference League if Crystal Palace don't win the FA Cup.
