Bournemouth thrashed Manchester United 3-0 in the Premier League at a chilly Old Trafford on Sunday thanks to goals from Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo, and climbed to fifth in the standings.

Bournemouth’s fourth league victory in five matches moved them to 28 points after 17 games, while United are 13th with 22 points.

Huijsen put the visitors on the score sheet when he out-jumped Joshua Zirkzee to head home Ryan Christie’s free kick in the 29th minute. While United peppered Bournemouth with shots late in the first half, it was the visitors who all but put the game away with two goals within two minutes early in the second half.

Kluivert scored from the penalty spot in the 61st minute, awarded after Noussair Mazraoui brought down the Dutch winger.

The delighted Bournemouth fans were still celebrating when Dango Ouattara swept a pass into Semenyo inside the box two minutes later. United defender Lisandro Martinez put up little resistance as Semenyo unleashed a hard shot past Onana.

Chelsea held by Everton in goalless draw at Goodison

Striker Nicolas Jackson struck the post with a close-range header as Chelsea were denied the chance to go top of the Premier League table as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at a blustery Goodison Park on Sunday.

The conditions made it difficult for both teams, but they each had chances to win the game. Jackson was also denied from point-blank range by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as Everton kept a fifth clean sheet in six games.

Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez denied Jack Harrison at the other end with a superb stop, while Iliman Ndiaye’s goal-bound shot was blocked by visiting defender Tosin Adarabioyo.

Chelsea remain in second place with 35 points, one behind leaders Liverpool but having now played two games more. Everton climb to 15th with 16 points from 16 games, four clear of the relegation zone.

Wolves maul Leicester 3-0 in Pereira’s first game in charge

 Wolverhampton Wanderers kicked off the Vitor Pereira era with an impressive 3-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday to snap a four-match losing streak and move a step closer to the safety zone.

Pereira, who was appointed Wolves’ new manager on Thursday, made several changes to the starting lineup from Gary O’Neil’s last game in charge and the visitors played with courage and intent to score all three goals in the first half.

Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes and Matheus Cunha capitalised on weak defending and errors from Leicester’s defence to score before halftime as boos rang around the King Power Stadium.

Leicester had more of the ball in the second half but Wolves were happy to sit back with a three-goal cushion and sealed three vital points to give their fans some Christmas cheer and move up to 18th, two points behind 17th-placed Leicester.
