Bournemouth humiliated Manchester United at Old Trafford  - 1

The Bournemouth team played a very strong match and defeated Manchester United 3-0 away, after which they came in 5th place in the English Premier League standings, BTA reported.

"The Cherries" scored three beautiful goals, created with very diverse attacks and now have 28 points, 3 behind 4th-placed Nottingham, which occupies the last direct quota for a place in the Champions League.

Dean Huysen opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a header after intercepting a cross from the right by Ryan Christie. The strong defender was standing in the middle of the penalty area and deflected the ball in front of the helpless United defender – Joshua Zirkzee.

In the 61st minute, Justin Kluivert won a penalty and scored it himself for 0:2. The Dutch striker was waiting for the ball on the edge of the penalty area after his teammates made at least four passes and brought him into the penalty area, where he was tripped by Nousair Mazraoui.

Two minutes later, the away fans continued to celebrate after Dango Ouattara found Antoine Semenyo with a soft pass, who pushed the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Second in the standings - Chelsea finished only 0:0 in their visit to Everton. The Londoners had a serious advantage before the break, creating many chances. But in the second half, the stronger team was the home team, led by energetic manager Sean Dyche. Chelsea remain in second place with 35 points, one less than Liverpool but two games in hand.

Southampton, who are in the bottom 20th place in the standings, earned only their second away point this season after a 0-0 draw at Fulham. New Saints manager Ivan Juric, who was appointed last week, watched the game from the stands and his task of rescuing them looks difficult with a total of 6 points.

Wolverhampton started the era under new manager Vitor Pereira with a convincing 3-0 away win over Leicester, with both teams in the relegation zone. Gonzalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes and Mateusz Cunha ended a run of four consecutive defeats, while Wolves moved up 12 points from 19th to 18th.
