Late goals deny Clarets a battling point as unbeaten Old Trafford run ends
|
For the first time in five years the Clarets left Old Trafford empty-handed as Manchester United struck with two late goals to deny Burnley a record run. Never before in the Premier League era had the Clarets avoided defeat for five successive games away to the same opposition. But they were within minutes of doing that for the first time after James Tarkowski had quickly cancelled out Mason Greenwood’s opener early in the second half with his first goal of the season. The Clarets looked well worth a point which would have extended to seven their advantage over the bottom three following Fulham’s 1-1 draw at Arsenal earlier in the day. As has become the norm here, Dyche’s men matched United nearly all the way with a fighting performance which bodes well for the remainder of the run-in. But the Clarets have also suffered their share of disappointment from late goals during their unbeaten run at the home of the former champions.
