Man Utd’s late penalty against Burnley

The Premier League has provided clarification on the decision to overturn a penalty call in Manchester United’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Burnley on Saturday — their first win of the season.

United took the lead after a Josh Cullen own goal, only for Burnley to respond with a close-range finish from Lyle Foster. Bryan Mbeumo restored the hosts’ advantage, but Burnley equalized again through Jadon Anthony.

In stoppage time, controversy arose when Amad Diallo’s shirt was pulled in the box. Initially, referee Sam Barrott waved play on, but following a VAR review, he was advised to check the incident on the pitchside monitor.

After reviewing the footage, Barrott reversed his decision and awarded a penalty to Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes stepped up and converted the spot-kick, securing all three points for the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
