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.
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.
