Premier League: Harry Maguire sees red as Man United held to 2-2 draw at Bournemouth

Harry Maguire's red card costs Manchester United a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth in a thrilling Premier League clash.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was shown a red card ​for conceding the penalty that led to Bournemouth grabbing ‌a 2-2 Premier League draw at the ​Vitality Stadium on Friday (March 20, 2026), the home ⁠side twice coming from behind to secure a point.

Maguire, recalled to the England squad earlier in the day, ‌went from hero to villain after forcing Bournemouth’s James Hill into an own goal, ‌only to concede a spot-kick that ended ‌up ⁠costing his side two points.

Both sides ⁠had chances in the first half but neither could find the back of the net, with United goalkeeper Senne Lammens ​and Djordje Petrovic of ‌Bournemouth pulling off several fine saves.

With space at a premium early in the second half, Alejandro Jimenez opened the door for United by ‌pulling the shirt of Matheus Cunha to ​concede a penalty , and captain Bruno Fernandes converted to give the visitors the ⁠lead in the 61st minute.

Ryan Christie equalised six minutes later, however, squeezing a well-placed shot beyond ‌the reach of Lammens.

Fernandes played his part as United took the lead again, swinging in a corner that glanced off Hill and into his own net under pressure from Maguire at the back post in the 71st minute.
