Casemiro’s magnificent acrobatic volley gave Manchester United a 1-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday, putting them one step closer to Champions League football next season.
United moved up to fourth place in the rankings with 69 points, trailing Newcastle United on goal difference.
The visitors dominated the first half and took the lead in the ninth minute when Cherries defender Marcos Sensesi attempted to hook away a Christian Eriksen pass behind the Cherries defense, but only succeeded in setting up Casemiro for a stunning spinning volley.
Ten Hag’s team were not at their best, but once in front, they confined a feisty and well-organized Bournemouth to just a handful of chances, with David de Gea in fine form to deny Gary O’Neil’s side whenever they threatened.
