This Thursday afternoon, Manchester United hosted Burnley at Old Trafford, for the 20th round of the English Championship. With the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo swinging the net, the Red Devils won 3-1, a result that makes them closer to the G4 of the table.
The game was dominated by the home team. At 8 minutes into the first half, CR7 had the ball dominated, but let it slip, just as McTominay managed to take advantage of it and send it straight to the net. Then, at 27, Jadon Sancho kicked weakly and had a deflection from defender Ben Mee to score the second.
The third goal was scored by Ronaldo. McTominay sent from a distance, the goalkeeper made the save and the ball exploded on the crossbar. On the rebound, the Portuguese had the goal absolutely free to just touch and run for the hug.
Still in the first stage, Burnley even decreased in cross kick from Aaron Lennon, at 38. However, in the second stage, United only managed the score and did not suffer any scares.
With the result, United goes to 31 points in the table, four behind Arsenal, the team that opens the qualifying zone for the Champions League. Burnley, on the other hand, comes well below, in 18th in the fight against relegation with just 11 points added.
For the next round of the Premier League, Manchester United faces, once again at home, Wolverhampton, at 2:30 pm (GMT) this Monday. Burnley, on Sunday, will face Leeds United, away from home, at 11am.
