"The Red Devils won their first Premier League match of the season in dramatic fashion after Bruno Fernandes scored a 97th-minute winner from the penalty spot to secure a 3-2 victory. Timed at 96:10, it was United's fourth-latest winning goal on Opta's records in the Premier League (from 2006-07), and second-latest at home, after Scott McTominay against Brentford in October 2023 (96:11)."
""It's never easy, we have to try to fight until the last minute. I think we overcomplicated it. "For me, the most important thing is that, no matter what happens, we try. Sometimes we play well, too open, too fast, losing possessions, but the effort is there. "It will help us because we now have two weeks. Imagine two weeks with a lot of opportunities. Fulham in the beginning, the same [with] Arsenal: we try until the last minute.""
Manchester United defeated Burnley 3-2 thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty in stoppage time, timed at 96:10. The goal ranks as the club's fourth-latest winning goal on Opta's Premier League records and second-latest at home. United's first two goals of the Premier League season were both own goals, a first in the competition. The team missed chances to settle the game earlier and showed periods of overcomplication and lost possession. Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount left with injuries, and Cunha was replaced in Brazil's squad by Samuel Lino. The squad enters a two-week international break before upcoming fixtures including Fulham and Arsenal.
