  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    United took the lead just before the half-hour mark through Josh Cullen's accidental own goal. Mason Mount floated a cross from the left flank, which was headed directly at the Burnley crossbar. The rebound ball then hit Cullen on his chest and went into the goal. Last weekend, the Red Devils took the lead from a similar own goal against Fulham, as Leny Yoro's header bounced off Rodrigo Muniz and into the goal.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The Red Devils went on to win the clash 3-2 thanks to Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes' late goal. Burnley had earlier staged a comeback twice in the second half, but Fernandes' penalty meant they left Manchester empty-handed.
