Bournemouth pulled off a stunning 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, ending their long-standing jinx at the iconic stadium. The Cherries performed quite well throughout the match, and they deserved their three points.

Dominic Solanke opened the scoring for Bournemouth after just five minutes when he turned in a cross from Lewis Cook. United struggled to create any clear-cut chances in the first half, and they went into the break trailing 1-0.

The Cherries doubled their lead in the second half through a header from Philip Billing. The Danish midfielder rose highest to meet a cross from Aaron Tavernier, and he powered the ball past Onana.

Bournemouth sealed the victory with another header, this time from Marcos Senesi. The Argentine defender was unmarked at the back post, and he made no mistake from Tavernier's cross, his second assist.

The win was a major boost for Bournemouth, who are now unbeaten in five Premier League matches. They will be looking to extend that run when they host Luton Town next Saturday.

For Manchester United, the defeat was a major setback. They are now under even more pressure ahead of their must-win Champions League clash with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Erik ten Hag will be hoping that his team can bounce back from this defeat and put in a better performance against Bayern Munich.

Here are some of the key talking points from the match:

• Bournemouth's dominance: The Cherries were the better team throughout the match, and they fully deserved their victory. They were well-organized in defense and they created a number of good chances in attack.
• United's lack of creativity: United struggled to create any clear-cut chances in attack, and they were disappointing in front of goal.
• Ten Hag's pressure: The pressure is now on Ten Hag to get a result against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

This was a memorable victory for Bournemouth, and it will be remembered for a long time to come. The Cherries have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with, and they will be hoping to continue their good form in the Premier League.

In the meantime, United will need to quickly recover from this defeat and put in a much better performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
