I'm harsh on keepers. Anything 25 yards or further out, I expect a keeper to save. It's a great strike but I can't help but think if De Gea was stood more centrally he'd have saved it - sometimes walls cause keepers more problems than help them when it's that far out.

Yep, I think it would often be easier without a wall from that distance. Players don't tend to have much trouble getting it up and over the wall from further out, so it just serves to delay the keeper seeing it.

Seeing it and the keeper naturally moves to 1 side of the goal too.

Andy Cole should be in that somewhere surely?
 
Lingard carrying on the trend of missing sitters by the sound of it? Merson said he was 1 yard out.

Scored now though, 1-2.
 
Only a matter of time before Utd score again. Burnley are defending far too deep and allowing Utd to put cross after cross into the box.
 
Nick Pope motm so many blinding saves in the 1st half

If you are going to indicate 5 minutes then at least give the full 5 (the free kick hadn't even been taken when the added time was put up and then Utd 2nd went in - must have been at least 1 minute missing)

How the **** Burnley ended the match with 11 on the pitch I will never know, they must have wasted 6- 7 minutes even without the subs etc

If Utd can get a player who can be consistently decent with corners /free kicks it would improve these games so much, everyone wants to be the hero and ends up wasting good chances to put gk under pressure
