UAE BARQ برق الإمارات – نبضك
Manchester United’s up and down season continued as Joshua King’s strike earned Bournemouth a 1-0 win in treacherous conditions on Saturday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team hadn’t won an away game since March until 10 days ago, but three straight wins on the road at Partizan Belgrade, Norwich and Chelsea raised hopes of a revival.
However, their flaws that had emerged earlier in the season were on show again as a lack of goal threat and a moment of poor defending resulted in a fourth Premier League defeat in 11 games.
The visitors started well at the Vitality Stadium. Daniel James whistled a long-range effort just wide, while Anthony Martial saw appeals for a penalty waved away.
Bournemouth struck their decisive blow just before the break when King, who started his career in England at United after being recommended to Alex Ferguson by Solskjaer, came back to haunt his former employers.
The Norwegian lifted the ball beyond Victor Lindelof and flummoxed Aaron Wan-Bissaka before firing past David de Gea.
