Final score: Bournemouth 2-1 Manchester United

Louis Van Gaal's Manchester United traveled to a buzzing Vitality Stadium with hopes of strengthening their grip on a top 4 place.

They lost ground and ended up outside the Champions League spots, with this fixture proving to be a bitter pill to swallow.

Just a couple of minutes in, a well-tuned corner from Junior Stanislas was fizzed in. Much to everybody's surprise, the ball beat all the shirts in the box to land into the top corner, leaving de Gea goggle-eyed and beaten.

He should have covered the space and tipped it over the cross bar, if not claim it with both hands.

Marouane Fellaini restored parity for the Red Devils, but a 54th-minute goal from Joshua King proved to be the difference between the sides. Unfortunately, Manchester United slipped down the table post this fixture.
