Fernandes’ Stoppage-Time Penalty Gives Man United First Win After VAR Review

The result briefly eases scrutiny on Ruben Amorim after the Grimsby Cup debacle.

Overview

  • The decisive spot kick followed a video review for a shirt pull on Amad Diallo, a ruling Burnley manager Scott Parker criticised as an off‑field overturn of the initial non-call.
  • Ruben Amorim said he looked away for the penalty because he trusted Bruno Fernandes would not miss a second in a row.
  • Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount were forced off with first‑half injuries, with Amorim expressing concern and confirming both will undergo assessment.
  • Manchester United players publicly backed their coach, with Matthijs de Ligt saying the squad stands behind Amorim and accepts responsibility for recent setbacks.
  • Bryan Mbeumo scored United’s second and earned praise for his influence as defensive frailties and an Altay Bayindir error allowed Burnley to level twice.
