Football

At Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United narrowly defeated Burnley 3-2 with the penalty kick scored by Bruno Fernandez in the 7th minute of stoppage time, and finally ushered in the first Premier League victory this season. The 97th minute of the game was played, and the score on the field was still tied 2-2. At this time, Manchester United could not defeat it for a long time and the attack was in a deadlock. However, the game suddenly turned: Burnley player Anthony made obvious pulling the jersey against Amad Diallo in the penalty area. After receiving the complaint from the home team player, the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick after the video playback. Despite the huge pressure, Bruno Fernandez still took the penalty calmly, shot the ball into the far corner of the goal, completing the final victory, helping the "Red Devils" win 3-2.

This is the first time that Manchester United has scored all three points in the 2025/26 Premier League season. However, the team's performance throughout the game, especially the poor performance of the defense line, still exposed many problems, which is worrying.

Faced with Burnley, Manchester United took the initiative after the opening game. In the first half, the home team's possession rate reached 60% and created as many as 15 shooting opportunities. But Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dublafka played his bravery and resolved the danger many times, making Manchester United's crazy attack unable to be transformed into a goal.

After 4 shots and two hits to the goal frame, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock in the 27th minute - Burnley midfielder Josh Curlun accidentally made an own goal and gave a big gift to the "Red Devils".

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led 1-0, but the price was heavy: Mattus Kunha and Mason Mount left the game one after another due to injuries, laying hidden dangers for the team's subsequent games.

After the change of sides, Manchester United's offensive weakened significantly, and Burnley seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. In the 55th minute, Dalot and DeLigt made serious mistakes in defense, and Burnley forward Lyle Foster seized the opportunity to score from close range to tie the score.

Just just two minutes later, Manchester United took the lead again by Brian Mbeumo, but the team's disastrous defense soon ruined the advantage. In the 67th minute, Manchester United organized a chaotic organization in a sideline defense. The opponent shot twice in a row at close range, and finally broke through the goal guarded by Baindel, and overturned the score 2-2

Manchester United replaced new player Benjamin Sheshko, trying to hit the opponent's defense through a high-altitude ball, but Burnley defender focused on defense and resolved the cross from the wing many times.

Just as the game was about to end with a draw, the goddess of luck favored Manchester United. Anthony, who scored an equalizer for Burnley, sent a penalty kick for a foul in the penalty area, ruining the team's 1 point, and also made Burnley regretfully missed valuable points.
