Relegation Threatened Burnley End Ole Gunnar Solkjaer’s Man United Run

Manchester United’s winning streak was last night brought to a halt all thanks to Sean Dyche’s Burnley as they held United to a dramatic draw.

Manchester United were aiming to make it a seventh heaven under Solskjaer after six straight Premier League wins since the Norwegian caretaker boss took charge in December.

But Sean Dyche’s lowly stars rocked United and dented their Champions League hopes with second half goals from strikers Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood to take a 2-0 lead.

But United roared back in the closing stages with Paul Pogba scoring a late penalty after Jesse Lingard was fouled in the box to make it 2-1.

Then as the game ticked into five minutes of injury time Swedish defender Victor Lindelof denied brave Burnley a famous victory with a close range 92nd equaliser.

Sean Dyche must have wondered whether he’d overstayed his welcome at Burnley after a shocking first half to the season after finishing seventh last time.

But the Turf Moor boss has turned results around since the New Year and his stars silenced Old Trafford with a shock draw.

And what better way to bounce back from a 5-0 hammering in the FA Cup at Manchester City than to end Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s run of eight straight wins.
