Manchester United 1-1 Bournemouth: Joshua King penalty earns Cherries hard-earned point at Old Trafford as tempers flare with elbows and stamps

Joshua King earned Bournemouth a much-needed Premier League point against Manchester United, but the feisty encounter was marred by a series of incidents at the end of the first half.

Marcos Rojo opened the scoring for United when he prodded home Antonio Valencia's initial effort, but Bournemouth were level before the break when King found the net from the penalty spot.

Tempers then frayed before half-time when Zlatan Ibrahimovic responded to a Tyrone Mings stamp on his head by aiming an elbow at his opponent's head just seconds later.

In the melee, referee Kevin Friend then booked Andrew Surman for pushing - the player's second of the match - before going back to him three minutes later to issue the red.
