BOURNEMOUTH, England, March 20 : Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was shown a red card for conceding the penalty that led to Bournemouth grabbing a 2-2 Premier League draw at the Vitality Stadium on Friday, the home side twice coming from behind to secure a point. 

United captain Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty to give his side the lead in the 61st minute and Ryan Christie equalised six minutes later, but the visitors took the lead again when James Hill headed the ball into his own net under pressure from Maguire from a corner. 

Maguire went from hero to villain, however, pulling the shirt of Bournemouth striker Evanilson to concede a penalty and substitute Junior Krupi levelled from the spot in the 81st minute. 

The visitors had to hang on through more than 10 minutes of stoppage time for a draw that left them third in the table on 55 points, 15 behind leaders Arsenal and six adrift of Manchester City. Bournemouth are 10th on 42 points.
