Man Utd Rescue Point Against Burnley
MANCHESTER (Dispatches) - Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the side's fans were treated to a "typical Old Trafford finish" as they came from 2-0 down to rescue a dramatic point against Burnley.
United were facing their first defeat under Solskjaer until Paul Pogba scored from the penalty spot in the 87th minute and Victor Lindelof scrambled in a 92nd-minute equaliser.
The hosts had previously won all eight matches since the Norwegian took charge.
Burnley had defended resolutely until conceding twice late on and were in front thanks to second-half goals from Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood.
Barnes smashed home from inside the penalty area at the start of the second half after a mistake by Andreas Pereira and Wood headed in Barnes' cross in the 81st minute.
The draw means United fail to move level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, while Burnley go up a place to 15th, four points clear of the relegation zone.
