HT Manchester United 3-1 Burnley
Four goals in 45 minutes. Excellent viewing so far for the neutral, not so brilliant if you're a Burnley fan. Although Lennon really rolled back the years with that finish. McTominay opened the scoring with a curled finish, Sancho thought he doubled United's lead but his strike was deflected off Mee's toe and into the back of the net. That went down as an own goal. Then Ronaldo made it three after Hennessey made a great save to deny McTominay his second, but the Portuguese striker was there to get the rebound. The second half is next!
