Manchester United saw their first hiccup under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a scare against Burnley left them 2-0 down with nine minutes remaining but United dug deep and clinched two late goals to earn a well-earned point in the game. Ashley Barnes took the lead in the 51st minute with Chris Wood scoring what seemed to be the winner half an hour later.
United did not give up and had opportunity after opportunity to get a goal back, almost winning a penalty which was disallowed with a free-kick given instead. United continue to push Burnley, winning a penalty in the 87th minute, which Paul Pogba slotted home. United had a chance to get something from the game and continued their onslaught. In the second minute of added time, of which five minutes were given, Victor Lindelof scored his first goal for United, getting a well-earned equaliser.
Solskjaer is still undefeated in nine matches, even though it looked nailed on at one point. United never gave up and showed the attitude of old, putting lots of pressure on the opposition, that will be something to build upon. I remember months ago that supporters would rather lose or draw matches as long as the football was entertaining. We had that this evening so there should be no qualms with what was served at Old Trafford.
