Bruno Fernandes Fires Manchester United to Dramatic 3-2 Win Over Burnley

Bruno Fernandes delivered a dramatic late penalty to snatch a 3-2 victory for Manchester United against Burnley at Old Trafford, marking United's first Premier League win of the season. The match was a rollercoaster, with Burnley twice coming from behind before Fernandes sealed the win in the seventh minute of added time.

United took the lead through an own goal by Burnley's Josh Cullen, but Lyle Foster and Bryan Mbeumo scored twice to bring the visitors level. Benjamin Šeško missed a golden chance to restore United's lead before Fernandes stepped up to convert a penalty after Amad Diallo was fouled in the box.

The victory lifted Manchester United to ninth in the Premier League standings, while Burnley dropped to 11th. Fernandes' penalty, which marked his 99th goal for the club, was one of the latest winning goals in Premier League history, timed at 96 minutes and 10 seconds.

United dominated the match statistically, registering 26 shots and an expected goals (xG) tally of 3.54, compared to Burnley's six shots and 1.2 xG. Despite the win, defensive frailties remain a concern for Erik ten Hag's side.
