Match Report

Manchester United scored two late goals in the space of five minutes as they came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Burnley at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood appeared to have set Burnley on course for a first away win against United since September 1962 and inflict a first defeat on caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However, Paul Pogba's 87th-minute penalty and an injury-time strike from Victor Lindelof salvaged a point for the home side that could yet prove important in the race for the top four.

Match Events

51'GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Burnley (Barnes)

GOAL! Burnley lead! Pereira is woefully dispossessed just in front of his back four by Cork. The midfielder quickly lays off to the onrushing Barnes who blasts the ball into the net first time. 

81'GOAL! Man Utd 0-2 Burnley (Wood)

GOAL! 2-0 BURNLEY! This will be Burnley's first win at Old Trafford since the 1960s! Wood glances a header into the far corner of De Gea's net after Lindelof plays him onside. United surely can't come back from this now.

87'Penalty Goal! Man Utd 1-2 Burnley (Pogba)

PENALTY! Hendrick needlessly tugs at the arm of Lingard and the referee immediately points to the spot. Pogba steps up and dispatches it with ease. 2-1 United. 

92'GOAL! Man Utd 2-2 Burnley (Lindelof)

GOAL! 2-2 UNITED! The old Man Utd are truly back! Tarkowski concedes a corner for United as Pogba bursts into the box. The corner finds its way to Young, who loops the ball back in. Heaton keeps Sanchez's header out, but can't stop Lindelof from smashing in his first for the Reds!
