After two struggling matches against lower-ranked teams and teams about to be relegated, Man Utd continued to experience a difficult match with the penultimate opponent in the Premier League. Despite playing at home, coach Erik ten Hag’s students could not win 3 points.

The first half of the first half brought optimism to the home fans. Man Utd attacked continuously and created many opportunities against Burnley’s superficial defense. However, Bruno Fernandes and his teammates did not have a goal after 12 shots in the first round.

 

 

Man Utd struggled against Burnley.

The game reversed in the second half of the first half when Burnley became the dominant team. Man Utd’s patchy defense clearly showed confusion. The excellence of goalkeeper Andre Onana with 5 saves helped the “Red Devils” keep a clean sheet until the break between the two halves.

Entering the second half, Man Utd did not improve much in playing style. The home team only relied on counter-attacks, but their ability to take advantage of opportunities was no better than their opponents. Antony and Alejandro Garnacho had very favorable opportunities but could not score.

Coach Erik ten Hag’s players had to wait for their opponent’s mistake to score a goal. In the 80th minute, Antony stole the ball from a careless pass from a Burnley player. This striker lost his balance but was still able to launch a light shot, just enough to get past the opponent’s goalkeeper.

This is Antony’s first goal in the Premier League this season.

Antony scored but could not help Man Utd win.

Burnley tried to attack in the remaining time. Andre Onana, after many saves in the first half, became Man Utd’s criminal in the final minutes of the match. He rushed out and missed the ball, hitting his opponent straight in the face. The referee reviewed the video and quickly made the decision to blow a penalty.
