Manchester: Poor finishing cost Manchester United a chance to move into the Premier League's top four as striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a penalty in a feisty 1-1 draw against 10-man Bournemouth on Saturday.

In other games, champions Leicester City maintained their dramatic revival under caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare, coming from one-down to beat Hull City 3-1 with goals from Christian Fuchs, Riyad Mahrez and a Tom Huddlestone own goal. It was their second straight win since Claudio Ranieri's sacking.

Hull were not the only side to suffer a relegation setback with Middlesbrough joining them in the bottom three after being sunk by a Marko Arnautovic double in a 2-0 win for Stoke city.

There were dramatic victories for fellow strugglers Crystal Palace, 2-0 at West Bromwich Albion, and Paul Clement's resurgent Swansea City, who came from behind to beat Burnley 3-2.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho made no excuses for a disjointed performance after lifting the League Cup with a dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton last weekend for his first major trophy at Old Trafford.

"What happened was that we played phenomenal in the first half and should have been winning 3-0 or 4-0 – then it ended up 1-1," he told the BBC.

"Who can I blame? Ourselves. Nobody else. We missed big chances. We felt pressure of the clock running down and lost the quality of our attacking football."

Ibrahimovic, the two-goal hero against Southampton, endured a miserable afternoon and was lucky to stay on the pitch after a three-way fracas involving Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings and Surman.

Mings, also fortunate not to be sent off, appeared to stamp on Ibrahimovic's head and the towering Swede retaliated seconds later with an elbow to the defender's jaw before Surman shoved him to the ground.

Referee Kevin Friend showed Bournemouth's Andrew Surman a second yellow card on the stroke of halftime for pushing Ibrahimovic.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Artur Boruc produced a string of excellent saves either side of Marcos Rojo's first Premier League goal which put United ahead.

The Argentina defender got on the end of Antonio Valencia's misdirected shot and turned it past the helpless Boruc but United's joy was shirt-lived as their academy product Joshua King equalised with a 40th-minute penalty.

King drilled the ball into the top corner in front of the Stretford End, drawing Bournemouth level against the run of play after Phil Jones had hauled down Marc Pugh.

United laid siege to Bournemouth's goal in the second half but could not turn 20 shots and 68 percent possession into victory as Boruc continued to shine.

Having denied Ibrahimovic three times in the opening half, he palmed away the striker's feeble 56th-minute penalty and kept out a curling long-range effort by Paul Pogba to earn his side a point after four league defeats in a row.

At the other end of the table, Hull remain on 21 points, one adrift of Middlesbrough, while Palace jump to 17th on 25 points after dazzling goals from Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend earned Sam Allardyce back-to-back wins.

Swansea's revival under Clement gained more momentum as Spanish international Fernando Lorente headed home twice, including a 92nd-minute winner, to earn them a fourth win in six games and move them on to 27 points, alongside Leicester and Bournemouth.

In the day's best match, Nathan Redmond struck twice and Manolo Gabbiadini scored a sixth goal in four games as Southampton edged Watford 4-3 in their Premier League clash at Vicarage Road.
