Bournemouth picked up a second prized Premier League scalp in a week as they beat Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium.

Seven days on from a momentous victory at the home of champions Chelsea, Eddie Howe's men recorded another memorable win as they beat an injury-plagued United 2-1.

Junior Stanislas scored directly from a second-minute corner for his third in as many games and, although Marouane Fellaini levelled, former United youngster Joshua King wrapped up the win in the second half.

United, on the back of their chastening Champions League exit, missed the chance to move level at the top of the table as they slipped to a third league defeat of the season just days after Louis van Gaal insisted he was the right man to take them forward.
