Overview
- Referee Sam Barrott awarded the late spot kick after VAR official Stuart Attwell sent him to review Jaidon Anthony’s shirt pull on Amad Diallo.
- Bruno Fernandes’ stoppage-time winner secured United’s first league victory of the season and eased pressure following the 12-11 Carabao Cup shootout loss to League Two Grimsby.
- Ruben Amorim said he turned away from the penalty because he trusted Fernandes not to miss again, referencing the captain’s previous failure at Fulham.
- Altay Bayindir’s error preceded one of Burnley’s equalisers in a match where United also scored through a Josh Cullen own goal and Bryan Mbeumo, with Lyle Foster and Anthony netting for the visitors.
- Selection scrutiny persisted as £74m signing Benjamin Sesko again had limited minutes, entering on 72 minutes after Joshua Zirkzee replaced the injured Matheus Cunha earlier.
