Pogba kicks-off goal in a game full of controversy to make 1-0 lead for Manchester at Burnley

Paul Pogba has managed Manchester United to secure a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 71st minute at Burnley. This allows Manchester United to travel to Anfield on Sunday with three points ahead of champions Liverpool for a title battle.

Manchester United and Liverpool have been the two most successful clubs’ in English football history fighting for yet another prize. They have 39 titles between them including United on 20. Let’s see if Gunnar Solskjaer emulates Sir Alex Ferguson and knocks them off.

After going quiet at the start of the season, Liverpool is noisy again. However, United are showing the sort of consistency that makes them champions. It was clear from the start that Burnley was out to block and frustrate and generally break United up.

It was tough for long periods and Edinson Cavani was getting particularly irate on his first game after a three-match suspension. He was at the centre of the first half’s most controversial moment when he burst through but was hauled down by Robbie Brady.
