MANCHESTER UNITED managed to secure a 1-1 draw against ten-man Bournemouth in the sixth minute of injury time.
Rasmus Hojlund's last-gasp equaliser saw United climb up to 14th in the Prem, after Evanilson was sent off for serious foul play with 20 minutes to go.
Man Utd target Antoine Semenyo fired the home side into the lead with a thunderbolt opener, after a calamity of mistakes while playing out from the back.
Yet United somewhat responded well, mainly through Alejandro Garnacho's flurry of chances - on the day where arch rivals Liverpool matched their 20 league titles against Tottenham.
Bournemouth had their intensity and grit back, after losing it over the last few weeks. But United, as always, had none.
For a moment, the home side had fresh hearts after Evanlison's straight red, but United's persistence paid off when Manuel Ugarte's shot was fired in on the way through by Hojlund from five yards.
But United have now failed to beat Bournemouth in their last four clashes, with the Cherries scoring EIGHT goals across their previous three wins.
As ever, the away end sang Ruben Amorim's name for 90 minutes, as Bournemouth couldn't become the sixth side to the double over United this season, with their hopes of European football next term now fading.
Here's how SunSport's Dave Courtnadge rated the Red Devils from the Vitality Stadium.
It's not necessarily Onana's fault, but Amorim shouldn't rely on this 'distribution' narrative surrounding the Cameroon international.
United conceded the opener from being lackadaisical while playing out of the back against a cherry-picked high press.
And Onana's weight of pass is often a long way off. It lacked power into Leny Yoro, who sent it into Row Z for safety early on.
There's a clear lack of relationship between the goalkeeper and his back line.
He reacted SO late when Dango Outtara's blistering free-kick smacked off the post before the hour mark.
Did well at times in his battle with Semenyo in both boxes, with VAR checking two separate penalty incidents in United's favour.
But Semenyo came out on top, lashing in a stunning opener for his ninth goal of the season.
Given the final quarter of the game off to prepare for Athletic Club semi-final on Thursday.
Shaw finally started his first Man Utd game in 434 days, when he came off against Luton Town, who are now fighting to stay in the Championship!
He's not up to scratch fitness wise and he clearly hasn't played this Bournemouth side, who are one of the best pressing teams in the Premier League.
Shaw - who started on the left hand side of the back three - sent an ill-advised pass to Dorgu, which invited pressure in the build up to Semenyo's goal.
Yet United desperately need the England star back up to the mark. And he got better as the game went on.
His distribution and crosses into the box offered what others in his position cannot. Booked for stopping a counter-attack.
Some cheeky old fashioned defending at times, grabbing several Bournemouth shirts in the first 15 minutes.
Stayed back for Bournemouth's lightning breaks and cleaned up. But was beaten by Adam Scott down the line on one occasion.
The teenager has stepped up his attacking game on corners, with a couple headers saved by Kepa. Encouraging prospect.
Blocked off Evanlison for a few. But was left frustrated with the ref who took an age to give it as a foul.
Spent too long dallying on the ball before being robbed by Adam Smith, whose cross into Evanilson was met with the daintiest of backheel flicks back to Semenyo.
More lively than Mazraoui down the wing and almost caught Kepa out with several threatening crosses - but his team-mate is stronger defensively.
Was extremely unluckly to be booked after winning the ball from Smith, which won Bournemouth a dangerous free-kick early in the second half.
Casemiro looked back to half his best of late after inspiring United's comeback against Lyon and playing well in several defeats.
But he cheaply and naively the ball away at the edge of the box to Ouattara, whose blocked shot gave the home side a dangerous corner.
Semenyo and Scott flicked and tricked through the 32-year-old early on.
And Amorim looked incensed whenever he lost the ball to a determined Justin Kluivert.
The midfielder threatened to mimic his soon-to-be famous goal against Lyon in the dramatic Europa League comeback a few weeks back, after weaving his way through to cut in early on.
It's clear Amorim has asked him to drop in when United lose possession, but Casemiro is often too alone in front of the back three.
Started brightly but lost his way a little as the game wore on.
Did well in his battle with Ouattara throughout and sent a brilliant ball over the top for Garnacho's chance.
There's nothing extraordinary about Mazraoui, but he's a solid and reliable squad player that can be trusted - more than most.
Evanlison was sent off for a serious foul play slide challenge on the Morocco international in the 69th minute.
The Argentine came to life with his first touch of the game with manipulative feet to send a shot just past Kepa's goal in the 16th minute.
Garnacho won United's first foul when Tyler Adams slid in, which was cleared and checked by VAR - seconds later Bournemouth scored.
He got in-between Bournemouth's centre-backs to get on the end of a delicious ball which was chipping Kepa, who brilliantly saved.
Left-footed effort couple of widths wide of the post on the brink of half-time. His quick feet won plenty of free-kicks - not that United could score from any.
No matter how bright the winger looks, he just can't match it with an end product this season. It's still two goals in 21 games with four games remaining.
Got to feel sorry for Bruno at times. The captain looks like a broken man. Full of disappointment in those around him.
The only critique is that he perhaps asks for too much from his team-mates, who can't match his thinking with movement in front of him.
United always look to him for answers. Today he didn't have many.
And just like he did in the defeat to Wolves last week, the midfielder uncharacteristically scuffed a shot 10 yards from goal, before the flag went up.
The Red Devils can't afford for Bruno to drop his form before the Europa League semi-finals against Athletic Club. They need him back in full force.
It is tempting to give Hojlund a lower score and really lambast him for yet another forgettable performance before his late leveller.
Didn't realise he was on the pitch until United started threatening Kepa's goal towards the end of the first half.
Despite his goal, which was his third of the season, there is a reason Hojlund has been linked with a swap deal back to the Serie A.
He almost never arrives in the right place in the box, which basically means he lacks a ruthless striker's instinct. Hopefully he gets some confidence after the goal.
Jeered by the home support after sending a shot flying from distance during a promising United attack.
But his close range effort was converted on the way through by Hojlund. He won't mind. He's a bit of a club man.
It opened up brilliantly for Mount, whose shot was blocked for a potential equaliser. He tries. But is £60m worth it? Not at all.
United are the only team in the Prem to consistently change their centre-backs during games. Bizarre.
Didn't have much to do as Bournemouth retreated following the red card.
Unlike Hojlund, Obi was in the right place to meet Shaw's cross within seconds of coming on after Bournemouth's red card.
