Bournemouth secured a stunning 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, heaping even more pressure on Ruben Amorim's side.
The Red Devils have struggled a lot with defending set pieces this season, so it was no surprise that Bournemouth took the lead with a free kick. Ryan Christie's brilliant delivery picked out the head of Dean Huijsen, who evaded his marker and headed beyond Andre Onana.
Bournemouth doubled their advantage on the hour after Noussair Mazraoui brought down Justin Kluivert in the penalty area, with the Dutch striker producing a calm strike from the spot to give the visitors a buffer.
That cushion would be extended to three goals just two minutes later, with Antoine Semenyo heading home after a brilliant Bournemouth move down the left flank. It was no more than the visitors deserved.
Alejandro Garnacho came close to reducing the deficit and securing a bailout for it united just a minute later, but the returning Argentine couldn't beat Kepa Arrizabalaga with a subdued effort.
Bournemouth, who won 3-0 at Old Trafford last season, held firm in the closing stages despite pressure from the home side, securing a very impressive three points and clean sheet in their final game before Christmas.
