Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie tumbled following Willy Kambwala’s lunge – but after video replays the resulting spot-kick decision was changed to a free-kick INCHES outside the box.

Fans claimed it’s “unreal” how United profited from the key verdicts.

One posted: “They’ve done nothing in this game, 2 pens and they’re getting a point.”

A third wrote: “They must be the luckiest team in the league.”
