Comments:

League position: 16th Burnley failed in their attempt to win three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2017. 30 goals had now been scored in the Clarets' 16 games so far in this Premier League season (nine for, 21 against); fewer than any other team in the division. They had now won one of their last 26 home games in the Premier League against the Big Six opposition (lost 21). Robbie Brady was shown a yellow card after 27 minutes but it was withdrawn following a VAR review.

Comments:

League position: 1st With this win, Manchester United went to the top of the table after 17 or more games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since the final day of the 2012-13 season; the final game under manager Sir Alex Ferguson. United had now won nine of their last 11 games in the Premier League (drawn two). Although they had won seven and drawn one of their eight games, this was the first time that the Red Devils had kept a clean sheet in an away game in this Premier League season. Luke Shaw was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes following the VAR review that led to the yellow card shown to Burnley's Robbie Brady being withdrawn.
