BADLY DRAWN MATCH REPORT #31 MANCHESTER UNITED vs BURNLEY


In this edition of BADLY DRAWN MATCH REPORT Ole learns about the secret of Fergie Time.

After winning eight games in a row a home match against Burnley didn't seem to be the toughest test on Ole's plate. Still one can't be too careful.

Early on things seemed to be going well as United fashioned a good chance to take the lead. Unfortunately, Marcus Rashford put his effort wide but well United were bound to create another clear cut chance, right?

But in the 2nd half United committed the by now contractual defensive lapse & it was punished by Burnley. Ole's team selection was looking more & more suspect.

And just like the previous season Burnley took a two-goal lead but this time with less than 10 minutes left.

If ever Ole needed a Fergie time miracle it was now.

The Fergie Time effect rippled across Old Trafford as United searched for a way back into the game.

Once again United clawed back a two-goal deficit at home against Burnley with Paul Pogba converting a penalty & Victor Lindelof netting a last gasp leveller. The 5-minutes of additional time had nothing to do with Burnley time wasting.

One point gained? Two points dropped? Ole's still unbeaten & gave United a taste of Fergie time too. Comebacks and Ole do seem to go well together.
