Manchester United and Bournemouth have fought out a jaw-dropping 4-4 draw as substitute Junior Kroupi struck late in one of Old Trafford's most chaotic matches ever.
Monday night's Premier League encounter will live long in the memory as play swung from end to end, with maddening moments going hand in hand with flashes of brilliance.
United dominated early on and Amad Diallo opened the scoring in his final match before leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations, only for Antoine Semenyo to level before avoiding a red card for grabbing Diogo Dalot by the throat.
Casemiro restored the Red Devils' lead in first-half added time, yet Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier's free kick gave the visitors the lead during a wild opening seven minutes of the second period.

But a breathless meeting still had more to give as Ruben Amorim's side dug deep in a manner akin to last season's Europa League quarter-final comeback win against Lyon.
Bruno Fernandes equalised with a beautiful free kick to score at the Stretford End and Matheus Cunha rocked Old Trafford to its foundations, only for sub Kroupi to level as the Cherries extended their unbeaten record against United to a fifth match.
A third straight win at United would have followed for Bournemouth had David Brooks not twice been denied by Senne Lammens in added time.
There was disbelief as time was called on one of the greatest Premier League battles of all time.
