Bournemouth 1-2 Man Utd: Rashford winner seals last-gasp victory for Red Devils

Two of the Premier League's candidates for the October Player of the Month award Wilson & Martial were on target but Marcus Rashford netted the winner.

Marcus Rashford scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester United came from behind to snatch a dramatic 2-1 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The England international rifled home from close range after 92 minutes as United got the better of a resilient Bournemouth defensive display to complete a remarkable turnaround.


Bournemouth flew out of the traps and took a deserved lead on 11 minutes thanks to Callum Wilson's sixth goal of the season.


But they were made to pay for failing to double their tally as Anthony Martial's fifth goal in five games hauled United level against the run of play on 35 minutes.

United laid siege to the Bournemouth goal in

 the second half but a dogged defensive 

display, typified by two incredible blocks 

from Nathan Ake and David Brooks, looked 

to have secured Eddie Howe's men a point.

But Rashford struck in the closing stages to

 secure a victory that sees United leapfrog 

Bournemouth into seventh in the Premier 

League.
