A spectacular and early goal for Casemiro earned Manchester United a 1-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, one which means the Red Devils are just a point away from Champions League qualification.

The fact that Liverpool came back to draw against Aston Villa in one of the other Saturday afternoon kick-offs means that Erik ten Hag's side haven't yet confirmed their spot in the top four, but they hold a three-point lead over Jurgen Klopp's squad with a game in hand too.

Casemiro clearly wants to return to the top UEFA competition, with the Brazilian producing an overhead kick to open the scoring nine minutes in to United's trip to Bournemouth.

That ultimately proved to be enough for Manchester United, who had a few other chances to double their lead in the second half that they couldn't take.

Meanwhile, David de Gea pulled off good saves against David Brooks and Kieffer Moore, securing his clean sheet, one which means he is guaranteed to win this season's Golden Glove.
