Bournemouth backed up victory over Chelsea with the scalp of Manchester United at Dean Court this afternoon, running out 2-1 victors in the first ever league meeting between the two sides.

The Cherries were ahead inside two minutes when a corner from Junior Stanislas caught David de Gea off guard and flew straight into the far corner.

Marouane Fellaini restored parity with a scrappy goal midway through the first half, but Josh King grabbed the winner 10 minutes after the interval to seal a famous victory for his side.

Here, Sports Mole looks at who stood out on another historic day for the hosts.

BOURNEMOUTH

Goal

Artur Boruc: Made a truly world-class double save to deny Fellaini and McNair just three minutes after the opening goal. Also saved from Memphis in the build-up to the equaliser, but could do nothing to keep Fellaini out in the end. (8/10)

Defence

Adam Smith: Seemed to be the target of a number of long balls forward and at times he struggled to deal with Memphis. He offered more of an attacking threat as the game wore on, though. (6/10)

Simon Francis: Put in a towering performance defensively and almost got his own name on the scoresheet following a mazy run upfield. (8/10)

Steve Cook: Threw himself in the way of everything. A heroic display alongside the rest of the Bournemouth side, and kept Martial quiet in the process. (8/10)

Charlie Daniels: Wasn't much of an attacking force, but he did his primary job with distinction, defending well throughout. (7/10)

Midfield

Matt Ritchie: Was relatively subdued considering the frantic nature of the match, but did provide the assist for the winner with a cleverly-worked corner routine. (7/10)

Harry Arter: Personified the difference between the two sides today. Full of energy and running, covering every blade of grass and working his socks off for the team. Great hunger and desire. (8/10)

Andrew Surman: Won't make any headlines but was an important cog in the middle of the park, helping to limit the influence of Mata and providing a good base for others to thrive. (6/10)

Dan Gosling: Always looking to get into the box and played an important role for his side both on and off the ball this afternoon. (7/10)

Junior Stanislas: Opened the scoring in bizarre fashion direct from a corner and continued to pose a threat to the United goal, being denied by De Gea on a couple of occasions. (8/10)

Attack

Josh King: Led the line brilliantly. His running of the channels made things difficult for the makeshift United defence, and he took full advantage of their inexperience. Also took his goal well to win the match. (8/10)

Substitutes

Glenn Murray: Spurned two glorious chances during his time on the field, the first of which was particularly poor after he had done well to get into such a good position. (5/10)

Eunan O'Kane: Handed less than five minutes at the end and helped Bournemouth to see out the victory. (6/10)

MAN UTD

Goal

David de Gea: Getting beaten directly from a corner will never be easy for a keeper to take, but De Gea responded well to make a couple of good saves over the course of the 90 minutes. (6/10)

Defence

Guillermo Varela: Rarely able to get close to Stanislas in a poor performance. Has been thrown in at the deep end this week, and looked a little out of his depth today. (4/10)

Paddy McNair: Given a torrid time by King and looked as wet behind the ears as some of the less experienced members of the team. Caught in possession too often as well. (4/10)

Daley Blind: The most experienced member of a makeshift back four but didn't step up to the plate at a time when his side were desperate for leaders. (5/10)

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson: Arguably the best performer of the back four despite making his Premier League debut, although it still wasn't the most convincing of displays. (5/10)

Midfield

Michael Carrick: Played his part in the equaliser with a fine ball over the top but otherwise failed to control the game despite enjoying the lion's share of possession. (6/10)

Marouane Fellaini: Much maligned at times but looked like one of the few United players who actually cared today. Got a scrappy goal with some good persistence and perhaps should have got another considering the number of times a loose ball fell to him inside the box. Van Gaal's decision to take him off when United were in need of a goal was a head-scratcher. (7/10)

Jesse Lingard: Forced off after just half an hour with yet another injury for Van Gaal to contend with. (6/10)

Juan Mata: Should have been the one player in this side to stand up and provide the quality for United, but that never materialised. He was anonymous throughout today. (4/10)

Memphis Depay: One of his side's brighter players, getting in behind the defence on a few occasions and setting up the equalising goal. (6/10)

Attack

Anthony Martial: Had two pretty clear sights of goal but didn't even come close with either. Got very little joy from the Bournemouth defenders. (5/10)

Substitutes

Andreas Pereira: Replaced Lingard after half an hour and offered nothing special during his time on the field. (5/10)

Nick Powell: Not the man United fans will want to be calling on when they need a goal, particularly with Javier Hernandez having netted 15 times in his last 12 games over in Germany. (6/10)

Phil Jones: Surely was not fully fit but still introduced in stoppage time after McNair appeared to pick up an injury. Again, not exactly an ideal final throw of the dice. (6/10)
