Man Utd go top of one PL table after Casemiro heads in vs. Bournemouth 📊

Manchester United have arguably played their best half of the season tonight against Bournemouth and deservedly lead 2-1 at the break at Old Trafford. 

Amad's early opener was cancelled out by a brilliant Antoine Semenyo goal but Casemiro restored United's lead with his fourth of the season. 

The Brazilian headed in Bruno Fernandes' corner, making it yet another set-piece goal for Ruben Amorim's side. 

For all the chat about Arsenal's prowess, United have now scored more than any side in the league via the once-again popular method.

United also had 17 shots in the first half - the most of any side in the league this season - in another encouraging stat for Amorim. 

Can they build on it after the break and climb into fifth?
