  • FT Bournemouth 2-2 Man United

    Here is a look at the full-time stats.

    United managed to score from both their shots on target.

  • Iraola demands "consistency"

    Andoni Iraola was left to lament decisions after Bournemouth's draw against Man United.

    He told Sky Sports: "[The handball] I think it is in the rules no? The ball rebounds from his teammate and what Adam does is instinctive. I think it is not called normally, these kind of handballs.

    "I believe completely it was a penalty [for Christie]. Against Newcastle the penalty against us, the contact started outside the box. But [today] the first frame was put so the first contact was on the edge of the box, but the contact continues one, two metres inside and is stopping the player.

    "It is not just one moment and Christie is down. The defender goes with Christie one, two metres inside the box. For me it is obvious.

    "In the first half Kobbie Mainoo dives and it is not a yellow card, second half Ryan Christie, there is contact and he falls down, but yellow card for diving. What is the difference?

    "I understand that we are safe, but for us every point is very important. Very, very important. In the last games since we are safe all the decisions have gone against us. But at the end we need the same respect as other teams. All the teams are playing for important things, and it cost us two points and a lot of hard work. We demand some consistency."

  • Dalot speaks about mistakes

    Diogo Dalot has spoken about the individual errors that have cost Man United.

    He told BBC: "It's been happening in the last couple of games, we don't look to who has done it but we know it can happen at this level because they are clinical enough to score if we make mistakes.

    "It's something we have to look for and try not to do.

    "It's part of life to make mistakes. It's about reacting well the next game and the next few minutes to try to do better.

    "That's what we have to overcome. We have to take responsibility but try not to do it for the next games and that's the challenge."
