Equaliser!
Man Utd 1-0 Burnley – Penalty to Burnley!
86. Sure enough, John Brooks returns from the pitchside monitor and points to the spot.

85. Burnley want a penalty – and we’ve seen this before!
Andre Onana has been magnificent this afternoon, but he has just smashed into Zeki Amdouni as he attempted to punch clear.
It was a woeful mix-up in the Manchester United penalty area, started by Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s spooned clearance and continued by Casemiro’s bizarre header.
VAR have had a second look at the incident, and are now recommending a review – and we know what comes next when that happens.
Man Utd 1-0 Burnley
83. It’s going to be a big final seven minutes or so for Burnley, who are not out of this game – but could soon be out of the Premier League.

The defensive-minded midfielder replaces Christian Eriksen for the final stages.

79. Antony’s first Premier League goal of the season!
It had become of those games where it was going to require either a big error or a moment of magic to break the deadlock, and – unfortunately for Sander Berge – it is the latter that obliges.
The former Sheffield United midfielder took charge of possession deep in his own half, but a loose square pass was seized upon by Antony, whose smart first touch took him clear of the defence.
Berge made a desperate attempt to get back, but he couldn’t catch the Brazilian, who drove into the box and steered his shot beyond Arijanet Muric.
Breakthrough!
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
76. Dara O’Shea and Alejandro Garnacho have been having their own personal duel in this second half, and now the two have clashed for a potential penalty shout.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley – Burnley substitution
74. Jacob Bruun Larsen has tired in the last ten minutes, and now it’s his time to make way.
There’s no time for us bloggers to get comfortable though with a second spelling nightmare in Johann Gudmundsson on in his place.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
72. While it remains finely-poised, gone is the attractive attacking play of the first hour.
It’s heading for an extremely scrappy finish.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
70. The home fans are unhappy as the Burnley keeper prepares to take a goalkick.
They’re kidding themselves if they think he’s timewasting though. The visitors need the points and – rightly – believe they can win this.

68. This time it’s Arijanet Muric’s turn to make a flying save!
The Burnley goalkeeper responds acrobatically to flick away Alejandro Garnacho’s rising dive.

Erik ten Hag opts for a double switch, introducing Amad Diallo and Scott McTominay.
Rasmus Hojlund – who has barely had a look-in today – and Kobbie Mainoo make way.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
64. Superb defending from Wilson Odobert.
Garnacho found himself free of Burnley’s high-line, and in on goal from halfway.
But the Frenchman – usually so attack-minded – found the energy to track back, and nudge the United player off the ball on the edge of the area.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
62. There isn’t much movement on either bench right now, but surely both managers are considering changes.

59. Josh Cullen picks up a yellow card just shy of the hour mark.
The Burnley captain has put in a committed performance this afternoon, but he’s overstepped the mark there, according to referee John Brooks.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
57. Amdouni has a go with his left foot, but fails to test Onana with it.
The first goal will surely win this contest. It just seems nobody wants to score it.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
55. As it stands, 19th-placed Burnley are now a point behind Luton, who are currently 2-0 down at Wolves.
Nottingham Forest, in the safety of 18th, are a point further ahead, and play Manchester City at home tomorrow.
Man Utd 0-0 Burnley
53. Garnacho in space on the left!
He drives into the area, toying with the Burnley defence. He cuts back inside and curls towards the far corner…
…wide!
