Manchester United boss Michael Carrick said it was "baffling" that Harry Maguire was sent off and gave away a penalty but Bournemouth's Adrien Truffert escaped punishment for an "identical" challenge on Amad Diallo during their 2-2 draw.
Maguire's late foul on Evanilson ultimately proved costly, with Junior Kroupi scoring the resulting spot-kick and United having to hang on with 10 men to take a point from their trip to the south coast.
A Bruno Fernandes penalty on the hour mark and James Hill own goal, either side of a fine finish from Ryan Christie, had given United a 2-1 lead before Maguire got his marching orders. But it was an incident just before that Christie goal which left Carrick and United captain Fernandes frustrated.
Amad latched onto a clever pass forward from Fernandes and cut into the box but went to ground when Truffert placed both hands on him. It was similar to Maguire's subsequent foul, which, like Amad, spun Evanilson to the ground.
