Wednesday 18 April 2018 | Premier League | The Vitality Stadium | Attendance: TBC | Scorers: Smalling 27, Lukaku 70 Romelu Lukaku's 27th goal for Manchester United and a third strike in as many away games for Chris Smalling gave Jose Mourinho's men maximum points against Bournemouth on Wednesday night. The visitors had a much-changed line-up from Sunday's disappointing home defeat to West Bromwich Albion, with Smalling being the only defender to retain his starting place.
Despite Bournemouth having won 18 points from losing positions this season, a goal in each half was enough to see off the Cherries without reply, as the Reds reinstated a four-point lead over third-placed Liverpool in the Premier League.
