(Reuters) - Manchester United wasted the chance to move into the top five of the Premier League as their League Cup-winning hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a penalty and 10-man Bournemouth battled to snatch an eventful 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday.

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.
