That cushion extended to three goals after just two minutes, with Antoine Semenyu scoring after a brilliant Bournemouth move down the left flank. This was no more than the visitors deserved.
Alejandro Garnacho came close to reducing the deficit and providing a lifeline for it united Only a minute later, but the returning Argentine was unable to beat Kepa Arrizabalaga with a weak shot.
