"Marcus Tavernier believes Bournemouth's performance in their thrilling 4-4 draw against Manchester United shows the team are returning to their early-season form. Tavernier both scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the third time, getting both those contributions in the first six minutes of the second half on Monday. Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha then put the Red Devils 4-3 up before Junior Kroupi netted an 84th-minute equaliser to cap a crazy encounter at Old Trafford."
""We ended the game strongly and, if anyone was going to score a winner, it felt like it would be us," he said. "We'll reflect on this performance and see where we can improve. "There are a lot of positives for us to take, especially against a team that's in good form. We're starting to perform more like ourselves again, and we know what we're capable of.""
"That was a sentiment echoed by Bournemouth captain Adam Smith, who believes the Cherries are on an upward trajectory in the Premier League. "We were ourselves last week against Chelsea, and we were ourselves again, apart from that first 20 minutes," Smith added. "It's tight margins in these games, but the belief in this group is massive. Hopefully, things will swing our way because if we keep performing like this, good things will come.""
