In the English Premier League, the last matches of the 20th round and this year's competition were played at 6:30 pm. The "Manchester United" team ended the old year with a victory at the "Old Trafford" stadium. The "Red Devils" machine, almost flawlessly led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, defeated "Bournemouth" with a score of 4:1.

In the 33rd minute, the score became 2:0, with P. Pogba scoring another goal. In the 45th minute, Marcus Rashford scored another goal, but soon after the "United" defense disappointed David de Gea. At the end of the first half, Nathan Ake scored a goal for his team, but it turned out to be just a consolation. In the second half, the "Old Trafford" stadium did not see as many goals, with Romelu Lukaku scoring the final goal in the 72nd minute, just minutes after coming on as a substitute. In the 79th minute, "United" were reduced to ten men, as Eric Bailly received a red card for a foolish mistake.
