Manchester United’s defensive woes continued on Saturday afternoon, as Josh King’s stunning goal for Bournemouth took their defensive away record into record-equalling territory.
King controlled an Adam Smith cross from the right with his chest before flicking the ball over Aaron Wan-Bissaka and hammering past David de Gea from close range to give the Cherries the lead just before half-time.
The goal meant Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have now failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 11 Premier League away games, their joint-longest run in the competition. They last went 11 away games without a clean sheet between August 2002 and January 2003, and will be hoping to avoid breaking the record in their next away fixture at Sheffield United later this month.
