Burnley vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, latest updates and reaction after action-packed draw | OneFootball

Benjamin Sesko was the main man as United’s post-Ruben Amorim era began with a draw under Darren Fletcher

Benjamin Sesko scored twice as Darren Fletcher’s Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw following an action-packed evening of Premier League football at Turf Moor. Ex-United midfielder Fletcher - leading the top squad for the first time in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s sacking earlier this week - heeded widespread calls to field a four-man defence but soon fell behind anyway when an early Burnley cross deflected in off Ayden Heaven.

United then saw two efforts cleared off the line either side of a disallowed goal prior to half-time, before finally finding their equaliser five minutes after the restart as Benjamin Sesko ended his recent scoring drought by rifling home following a sumptuous Bruno Fernandes through ball. Sesko put his side in front 10 minutes later with another fine first-time finish, but Fletcher’s men were promptly pegged back by a lovely curling effort from Clarets substitute Jaidon Anthony.

Scott Parker’s struggling side held their own and came close to more goals on a few occasions themselves, despite United dominating the shooting statistics (30 total shots to seven, 10 on target to one) and nearly winning it late on when 18-year-old substitute Shea Lacey hit the bar. In the end, though, the points were shared. Relive everything from Wednesday’s game below in Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog.
