MANCHESTER UNITED 1 Antony (79) BURNLEY 1 Amdouni (pen 87)

-

Substitute Zeki Amdouni’s late spot-kick sealed relegation-threatened Burnley a late draw to increase the spotlight on under-fire Erik ten Hag and stuttering Manchester United.

Antony looked to have pushed Burnley further towards the drop with a late strike, only for the otherwise impressive United goalkeeper Andre Onana to give away a late penalty, converted by Amdouni.

David Datro Fofana got a warning shot on Onana’s goal inside 20 seconds, but United reacted well, with Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Antony having attempts.

The winger twice called Aro Muric into action and Christian Eriksen saw an effort go just off target.

Fernandes hit a post with a venomous snapshot in the 19th minute and Kobbie Mainoo’s strike into the ground whistled just off target as the hosts pushed for the opener.

Wilson Odobert saw a hopeful curling effort tipped over by Onana and, after Foster and Dara O’Shea ballooned over, the goalkeeper produced an exceptiona­l reaction save.

A cleared free-kick was volleyed back in by Josh Cullen, with Foster reacting with a sevenyard header stopped by a strong left hand.

Onana spread himself well to deny Foster as Burnley attacked again, with Garnacho slamming into the side netting.

Garnacho saw a fizzing shot pushed over and then Antony cut out a lax square pass from Sander Berge and raced behind, just managing to keep his balance as the Burnley midfielder attempted to recover and hitting a low strike beyond Muric

But then Onana’s attempted to push a cross clear only managed to connect with Amdouni after Aaron Wan-Bissaka headed clear. A penalty was awarded and Amdouni stepped up to coolly send Onana the wrong way.
