EPL:Manchester United climb to fourth after win over Bournemouth

 

Teenager Mason Greenwood scored two superb goals as Manchester United hammered Bournemouth on Saturday to climb to fourth in the Premier League.

Junior Stanislas nutmegged Harry Maguire to give the Cherries the lead.

Greenwood, 18, equalised for the hosts with a blistering finish and Marcus Rashford’s penalty put United ahead.

Anthony Martial extended the advantage before Joshua King’s penalty made it 3-2 – but Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes scored further goals for United.

United turned on the style at Old Trafford as they scored more than four goals in a Premier League home match since a 5-0 victory against Wigan Athletic on 26 December 2011.

Having collected 21 points from the past 27 on offer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s in-form side are unbeaten in nine top-flight games.

In contrast, Bournemouth remain 19th and in serious relegation trouble after a fifth straight league defeat.
