"A 97th-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes earned Manchester United their first win of the season against Burnley, after a controversial decision from the referee Sam Barrott when he was sent to the screen by the video assistant referee. Josh Cullen's own goal had given United a deserved half-time lead they should have built on but Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony were twice allowed to equalise either side of Bryan Mbeumo netting United's second in 11 chaotic second-half minutes."
"Josh Cullen's own goal had given United a deserved half-time lead they should have built on but Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony were twice allowed to equalise either side of Bryan Mbeumo netting United's second in 11 chaotic second-half minutes. The match was heading for a draw until it was belatedly adjudged that Anthony had pulled back Amad Diallo, and the United captain did the rest to send Old Trafford wild and turn Ruben Amorim's emotions from hate to love on the sidelines."
Bruno Fernandes converted a 97th-minute penalty to secure Manchester United's first win of the season against Burnley after a contentious VAR referral. Josh Cullen's own goal gave United a deserved half-time lead they failed to extend. Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony each forced Burnley equalisers, with Bryan Mbeumo also scoring to give Burnley two goals in an 11-minute, chaotic spell early in the second half. The match seemed bound for a draw until a belated decision judged that Anthony pulled back Amad Diallo. United then converted the penalty and Old Trafford erupted.
