Regardless of Bournemouth performance in that game, Manchester United players are complaining about the denied VAR. I checked one of the request and it was a clear penalty due to the intervention of the defender. So yeah if Manchester United scored that goal, they would be avoided the goal that scored just

Amad was pulled down in the penalty box, but the referee didn't award a penalty and didn't even double check with VAR. Perhaps the referee had his own opinion, despite the slight controversy. A draw is much better than a loss, as it doesn't completely drop points. Maguere made a mistake in the penalty box, leading the referee to award a penalty to Bournemouth and Maguere was shown a red card, making it a bit difficult for Manchester United to keep up the pace as Bournemouth continued to press with quite high intensity and luckily Manchester United did not concede in the remaining minutes after losing one player.

Amadi was clearly fouled in the penalty box, and i was expecting the referee to give Manchester United a second penalty but i was shocked the referee did not award a penalty to Manchester United and did not even bother to properlly review the incident with VAR to know if the foul is a penalty or not. Half bread is better than non. Since Manchester United could not take 3 points against Bournemouth, earning a point is better than losing 3 points to Bournemouth. Maguire red card disrupt Manchester United chances of winning the match, but i must commend Manchester United for not conceding a third goal from Bournemouth because the pressure from Bournemouth was so much after Maguire was sent off.

Things are going really bad for Chelsea recently. They are at risk of not even being able to qualify for a European tournament... Their recent form is just horrible as they can't win games. 

Today they need to start a good streak. However their job isn't going to be easy at all against Everton away! There is an interesting piece of information though.

Chelsea are the 2nd best away team in the league this season. I can't say Everton impress home meanwhile. Who knows...

There were many very controversial referee decisions in this match, and in my opinion, they were very detrimental to Man United, and I really regret that because I think Man United should have been able to win this match since they could play a little better and more effectively.
However, regardless of everything, it must also be acknowledged that Manchester United's performance is still very good, so this draw result does not indicate anything about the team's performance, and in my opinion, Man United can still show their best performance, it's just that in this match they were a little unlucky.

A draw is a good result for Manchester United instead of losing the match to Bournemouth which we know is not an easy team to play at their home. I wouldn't call this draw a bad result for Manchester United,  although they would have put more effort to win Bournemouth to establish their strength. One red card plus an own goal yet Manchester United still got a draw, that is pretty good in my opinion.

Bournemouth have never lost many games this season and they only lost two games in their home this season and that was against Arsenal who is arguably the best team in the world right now, I did not expect Manchester United to win the match because Bournemouth is at home and winning the game is going to be a challenge for them, Manchester United tried their best to get a win and got a draw and that is a fair result because we all know how strong to get a win against Bournemouth.

The referee in the game also stopped Manchester United from winning the game because that foul on Amad is a penalty, it is a clear penalty that every referee is going to award and he decided to not give it to them and even the VAR did not want to intervene in the penalty, i now believe the reason why Manchester City complain about some games when they did not give them a penalty that they deserve, some referees need to do better because it affecting the league.

I was unable to watch the match between Manchester United and Bournemouth, I just managed to watch the few first half but when I finally had the chance to check the final score, it was 2:2 score. I was like a draw is better than lose. But when I began to read the posts in the internet, I saw something like a robbing against Manchester United. Amad was fouled and he literally fell ontop of the football and yet no foul awarded nor penalty given.

But for the case of Maguire, he was red carded and penalty also awarded. I don't know why such an event happened. Why didn't in the var refs signal the referee to have a second look.
Maybe that would have been a win for Manchester United. That kind of expensive mistakes shouldn't be happening at this crucial time of the season.

I also didn't like the idea that Manchester United played on Friday night, I wasn't aware of that meeting, that was why I missed watching the full match. Who knows when next Manchester United will play?

Bournemouth could've scored a third goal if not that manchester united was quick to understand the situation of the game as they retreated to defence. Manchester United has no option than to fall back to defence to prevent bournemouth from scoring. Manchester united defense was strong which was why bournemouth couldn't penetrate Maguire tackle was very reckless but I don't blame him cos it was a mistake and amadi case was a clear penalty,no need for a VAR. I think that referee should be investigated for partiality.

Manchester United would have won Bournemouth at their home, had the been Maguire were not sent off and the referee did not denied Manchester United an obvious penalty in second half. After Maguire was sent off, Bournemouth keep dominating Manchester United in the remaining minutes and they could have gotten a third goal but Manchester United defense were on high alert and they stopped Bournemouth from scoring a third goal, and even if the time was remaining 30 minutes, Manchester United would not have won Bournemouth, so Manchester United getting a draw against Bournemouth is not a bad result at all.

Both team played well. At first before the game started, my prediction was for Man U to win but Bournemouth really chance my analysis the way they played few minutes after the match started. Bournemouth have had a nice time playing at home this season with just two lose out of 15 home matches. Although many draw was played and they also beat some big team like Liverpool and Tottenham when playing at home.

Manchester United was favorite to win Bournemouth but they got a draw at the end i think both team played well Manchester United also try as much as possible not to loss despite playing with 10 players against 11 players, Maguire was sent off after commenting a foul in the 18 yard box which resulted to a penalty that Bournemouth use in getting their equalizing goal, it was tough for Manchester United after the red card but they had to defend till the end.

It seems Manchester Uniteds winning streak has come to an end, they won their previous game but could not win Bournemouth, few weeks ago they were winning their games back to back. Their defense against Bournemouth was good but they became more careful after Bournemouth equalized, if they had put in the same Energy at the beginning of the game perhaps they would have won.

Chelsea are the 2nd best away team in the league this season. I can't say Everton impress home meanwhile. Who knows...

The coaching job is too big for the new manager Liam Rosenior. He might have gotten his first five games in the league won but the job is too bog for him to handle.

I have staked in favour of Everton winning or drawing, I don't think Chelsea will have a win against them.

Chelsea the second best on the league is another mighty joke, they are not.
