Bruno Fernandes scored a stoppage-time penalty to give Manchester United a 3-2 win over Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, easing some pressure on manager Ruben Amorim.
United had twice taken the lead, through an own goal and Bryan Mbeumo, but Burnley equalized each time. Amorim, already under scrutiny after a shock League Cup loss to fourth-tier Grimsby, couldn’t watch as Fernandes struck in the seventh minute of added time at Old Trafford.
The victory was United’s first of the season after losing to Arsenal and drawing with Fulham. Questions remain over Amorim’s future as United prepares to face Manchester City in the derby after the international break.
In London, Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-0 with the help of two contentious VAR calls. Joao Pedro scored in first-half stoppage time before Enzo Fernandez added a penalty in the 56th minute. Fulham manager Marco Silva expressed frustration with the officiating.
Tottenham’s perfect start ended with a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, while Sunderland grabbed a late 2-1 win over the same opponent and Everton beat Wolves 3-2. Liverpool and Arsenal, both unbeaten, meet Sunday at Anfield.
