AFC Bournemouth cruised past Premier League giants Manchester United in December 2023, gaining royal status simultaneously. Andoni Iraola's side joined an elite list of three teams who have gone to the 'Theatre of Dreams' and come away winning with a three-nil scoreline this season. The two other teams to have achieved this are current champions Manchester City, with a dominant win in the Premier League, and Eddie Howe's Newcastle United, who exposed the Red Devils' frailties in the Carabao Cup.
