Written by Questit on January 13, 2021
PAUL POGBA’S WELL-DRILLED VOLLEY GAVE MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 VICTORY AT BURNLEY TO TAKE THEM TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
THE FRENCHMAN’S SECOND-HALF STRIKE PROVED DECISIVE IN ANOTHER GAME HIGH ON VIDEO ASSISTANT REFEREE (VAR) DRAMA.
HARRY MAGUIRE HAD A GOAL DISALLOWED FOR UNITED IN A FIRST HALF DOMINATED BY VAR REVIEWS, WITH BURNLEY’S ROBBIE BRADY AND UNITED’S LUKE SHAW APPEARING FORTUNATE TO ESCAPE EARLIER RED CARDS.
BURNLEY MADE UNITED WORK HARD, BUT POGBA’S MOMENT OF QUALITY DECIDED IT.
ELSEWHERE, ALEX IWOBI SCORED THE OPENER AS EVERTON MAINTAINED THEIR CHALLENGE FOR A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SPOT WITH 2-1 VICTORY AT WOLVES
MICHAELKEANE DRILLED THE WINNING GOAL IN THE 77TH TO PUSH EVERTON TO THE FOURTH SPOT ON THE LOG.
