Manchester United vs Burnley: The Red Devils 3-1 win at Old Trafford
Manchester United 3-1 win at Old Trafford following a 2nd-half support from Greenwood and a walkout-time insurance goal from Cavani.
Game nearly started with tragedy
for Manchester United when it appeared that Chris had transformed a header from
a set play in the opening 2nd's of the match. Though, the goal would be lined
offside after the forward was kindly a foot ahead of the backline.
Greenwood says "Everything is
possible" in the title race after he scored twice to help the Reds defeat
Burnley and close the gap on Premier League champions Manchester City to 8
points.
Greenwood saw his impressive opener
after the break rapidly cancelled out when Tarkowski rose above Maguire to level.
Mason Greenwood put the hosts back
in front 6 minutes from time with a fierce left-footed strike that bounced
beyond goalkeeper Bailey at the front support. Cavani appointed in from close range in walkout time to wrap up
the win at Old Trafford.
The guests' direct attacking play
had caused Manchester United glitches of their own and they had the ball in the
net after 14 seconds.
Chris defeat goalkeeper Henderson to a drifted delivery on the edge of
the penalty area and headed into an empty goal, only to be correctly labeled
offside.
It means Manchester United’s are now 8 points behind leaders Manchester
City in 2nd place with 6 matches to play, while Burnley FC remain 17th and 6
points above the relegation zone.
Manchester United
manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Speaking to BBC Sports: "You never know, anything can
happen in either box. Any time they get a cross in with their quality you've
got your heart in your mouth. We built some pressure, especially down the left,
wanted to do the right things and we got the goals we wanted.”
"We will keep
concentrating on what we're doing and keep winning. Keep the momentum
going."
Burnley manager Sean
Dyche Speaking to BBC Sports: "The energy and shape of our side was good. You have
to get that right at these places. We were pretty tidy with our defending apart
from a couple of moments.”
"The mentality is
strong here, you can see that from the players."
