Burnley is still in the midst of a relegation battle, but on Saturday they achieved a golden result against Manchester United. An extended stay in the Premier League is getting closer.
Burnley the better team
In the first half, director Bruno Fernandes sent a number of dangerous balls towards the attack, but the opportunities were not taken, including by Rasmus Hojlund. On the other hand, Onana had to intervene repeatedly and the Cameroonian made some strong saves. After the first 45 minutes, Burnley actually turned out to be the better team and deserved it even more.
Sad backlog
Antony got the ball, avoided his opponent and scored the 1-0 while falling. For Antony, this marked his first goal of the season, and he celebrated the goal by announcing his impending fatherhood.
Burnley’s salvation
It looked like United were close to victory, but Onana then made a mistake. The goalkeeper came out too late and hit his opponent hard with his fists, resulting in a penalty. Zeki Amdouni remained extremely calm and converted the penalty, making the equalizer a fact.
It is still possible for Burnley
Burnley takes a point, but remains stuck in nineteenth place. They especially have to keep an eye on Nottingham Forest, who have two points more and will play against Manchester City later.
