Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo was on target as Bournemouth defeated Manchester United 3-0 in the English Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Chasing back-to-back league wins at Old Trafford, Bournemouth took a 1-0 lead into half-time. Huijsen's well-placed header separated the two sides in what was a closely contested first half.
Manchester United’s defensive frailties were exposed again in the second half. A dangerous free kick from Christie caused chaos in the United box, with the Cherries capitalising to extend their advantage.
The lead doubled in the 61st minute when Kluivert coolly converted a penalty. United goalkeeper Onana dove the wrong way as Kluivert fired the ball into the top-left corner, making it 2-0 for the visitors.
The icing on the cake came when Semenyo, who had been instrumental in the build-up, finished clinically. Ouattara cut the ball back from the left byline, and Semenyo drilled a low shot past Onana from 10 yards to seal Bournemouth’s emphatic victory.
The loss marked back-to-back defeats for Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, following their recent exit from the EFL Cup at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.
