Following the half-time interval, the lunacy went on as Borough scored an equalizer in less than 60 seconds through Evanilson, and then Marcus Tavernier bent an excellent free-kick to put his team in front.

A few moments later, Matheus Cunha was able to take advantage of a loose clearance and score the fourth goal for his side, creating even more of a frenzy among the home fans. In any case, Bournemouth didn’t back down and replaced Eli Junior Kroup, who scored the goal that made it 4-4 in the 84th minute.
At the end of the final breath period of the game, both teams made a desperate attempt to find the winning goal, but it was only possible to decide the points in this extremely memorable fixture that showed the fighting spirit of Bournemouth and United’s persistent defensive weakness.
