Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes converted a dramatic stoppage-time penalty to seal a 3-2 victory over Burnley at Old Trafford on Saturday.
United were on the brink of dropping points after goalkeeper Altay Bayindir’s error gifted Jaidon Anthony an equaliser. However, VAR intervened when Anthony pulled Amad Diallo’s shirt inside the box. Referee Sam Barrott, after a lengthy review, awarded the penalty, and Fernandes, who had missed from the spot a week earlier, calmly slotted home to hand Ruben Amorim’s men a vital win.

The win lifted Sunderland into the top six.
