It’s been long overdue but Rasmus Hojlund has finally scored for Man United to level it up here.
United work the ball into the box and as Bruno Fernandes prods it forward, Hojlund is left with a tap in.
He celebrates wildly before racing back to the halfway line.
VAR do have a quick check for offside but the equaliser stands.
Could United go on and win it now?
Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes all see good chances come and go.
Manchester United look set to suffer their 16th defeat of the Premier League season.
But Ruben Amorim and co still have hope with the news that we will have NINE minutes of extra-time.
John Brooks and Natalie Aspinall are the VAR officials for today’s game at the Vitality Stadium.
And the official Premier League Match Centre account has now confirmed their thinking behind the decision to show Evanilson a red card.
They posted on X: “VAR recommended an on-field review for a possible red card for the challenge by Evanilson on Mazraoui – with the challenge deemed to be two-footed with both feet off the ground, endangering the safety of the opponent. Upon review, the referee issued a red card to Evanilson for serious foul play.”
No suggestion of a slip and Evanilson can consider himself unlucky there.
And over at Wembley, the teams for the second FA Cup semi-final have also been confirmed.

As if Liverpool fans needed any more optimism that today will be the day they get their hands on the Premier League trophy, the teams news is in at Anfield.

Evanilson has been sent off here and Bournemouth will be down to ten men for the final 20 minutes.
The Cherries striker produces a clumsy tackle on Noussair Mazraoui near the halfway line, with both his legs getting tangled around the Man United full-back’s ankles.
It did appear that Evanilson slipped just before making contact.
But VAR ask Peter Bankes to take a closer look at it and the referee duly dishes out the red card.
Stuart Pearce has just said on talkSPORT: “For me that is ridiculously harsh.”
And Alan Smith said on Sky Sports: “A bit dumbfounded about that one.
“I know it ends up being a dangerous challenge but it’s a total accident. If you do slip in that fashion, you can’t help it.”
