Goal burns Burnley

Manchester United secured three points from a tight affair at Burnley, thanks to Anthony Martial's winner, as Jose Mourinho's men maintained our good form in 2018 with another victory and clean sheet. Despite a positive opening, the Reds endured a largely unproductive first half as the opening 45 minutes yielded precious few efforts on goal for either side. Paul Pogba was at the heart of most of anything positive and hooked a volley over the top from an Ashley Young pass when offered a rare sight of Nick Pope's goal. The Clarets looked capable of producing moments of danger from set-pieces with James Tarkowski left worryingly clear to waste a headed chance from a free-kick and Ben Mee also meeting a corner with no real reward. But what really matters as far as racing up the ladder is the points.
