Manchester United now have a five-point cushion over fifth place after Tuesday’s accomplished 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Casemiro got the scoring underway on 23 minutes with his second goal for the club to hand the Reds a 1-0 half-time lead. Luke Shaw swept home United's second of the night four minutes after the break before Marcus Rashford scored his 12th goal of the season four minutes from time.
United have not conceded at home in four months and are on a six-game winning streak. Erik ten Hag named an altered side for the contest ahead of an FA Cup third-round meeting with Everton, with Antony out injured and Raphael Varane and Tyrell Malacia benched.
