Manchester United 3 Burnley 2

Concluding my evening website catch up with quick thoughts and images from Burnley's 3-2 defeat away to Manchester United.

After an evening of awful league cup football against Derby County in midweek, Burnley returned to action against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United dominated the early exchanges, but found Martin Dubravka in fine form, but there was nothing that he could do to prevent the rebound off Josh Cullen's back going over the line. Not sure that either linesman or referee gave the goal on the pitch, but the automated ball sensor identified that the ball had crossed the line.

Lyle Foster equalised late on in the first half. I thought that it was off side from where I was sat, but having seen the stills now I'm really unsure which bit of Foster was actually offside - because it was incredibly marginal.

The second half was completely the opposite, Burnley taking the game to United rather than absorbing. Foster would get his equaliser in the 55th minute, turning a Bruun-Larsen cross past Bayindir in the United goal.

Frustratingly we switched off at the restart and United were immediately back ahead, having had hardly a look in since half time. Dalot finding Mbuemo alone in the box to fire in from short range.

Anthony would pounce on a rebounding Tchouma shot in the 68th minute to equalise for a second time, and this time it looked like the game was well under control and destined for a decent draw, that would probably have fairly reflected the balance of play for both sides.

The Diallo fell into the penalty area after the slightest of contact with Jaidon Anthony. I have no idea how VAR cooked up a penalty from that exchange, but I think it is fairly safe to say that it would not have been given in the other box. A proper big club decision. Bruno Fernandes fired home the winner from the resulting penalty in the 95th minute to secure three points United barely deserved.
