A 97th-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes earned Manchester United their first win of the season against Burnley, after a controversial decision from the referee Sam Barrott when he was sent to the screen by the video assistant referee.
Josh Cullen’s own goal had given United a deserved half-time lead they should have built on but Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony were twice allowed to equalise either side of Bryan Mbeumo netting United’s second in 11 chaotic second-half minutes.
The match was heading for a draw until it was belatedly adjudged that Anthony had pulled back Amad Diallo, and the United captain did the rest to send Old Trafford wild and turn Ruben Amorim’s emotions from hate to love on the sidelines.
