Manchester United are merely unlucky, says manager Jose Mourinho

“We deserved a point, it’s a fair result”, he told BBC Sport.

“When my teams like now, they play very, very well, and there is a huge change to the past two or three years, now you say what matters is to get results, it doesn’t matter what”, he said.

Mourinho has been criticised in the past for not playing attractive football and instead, parking the bus against strong teams to get a favourable result.

The duo collapsed to the deck early in the second half after Coleman collided with the veteran Swede, who caught the Everton defender’s head with his boot after tangling on the deck.

Mourinho claimed not to have seen either the penalty incident or a unsafe two-footed lunge from Rojo on Idrissa Gueye that might easily have earned a red card.

Mourinho’s post-match assessment was brief but withering.

The time match was ended, the social media slammed coach Jose Mourinho and Marouane Fellaini and blamed them for the draw.

The United keeper also made saves from Gueye and Enner Valencia before finally being beaten from 12 yards by Baines.

Ibrahimovic’s goal was the first shot on target in an uneventful first half.

Bournemouth’s Steve Cook celebrates scoring their third goal.

“When my team plays extremely well, results are more important”.

The point means Manchester United gained some ground on Manchester City and Liverpool, who both lost at the weekend, but not as much as they would have liked.

But Ryan Fraser, who had come off the bench to win the spot-kick, then buried his maiden Premier League goal before crossing for Steve Cook to superbly equalise, with Nathan Ake bundling home a last-gasp victor as Loris Karius failed to hold another Cook effort.

“It was an incredible comeback”, Ake said. But I think we have been improving game by game and the last two games it showed that we are on the right track. We pressed them and did well.

Everton, with one win from nine games, dropped captain Phil Jagielka and took a long time to get going. I would say [Phil] Jones and [Marcos] Rojo were magnificent. Players like him are so often unheralded but are key to hard fought wins as their energy in the midfield reverberates and lifts everyone around them. “The team is playing very, very well and the players are playing well”. We opened the door and they ran through and scored some wonderful goals.

“One point was the minimum we deserved. I would be more confident if we were higher up in the table because that’s what we play for”.

“If we learn, it’s OK”.
