In the 36th minute of the first half, Harry Maguire struck the net with a header, but the referee declared the goal for a foul and swallowed it.
After a frustrating match, Manchester United scored a picturesque winning goal in the 26th minute of the second half.
The ball raised by Marcus Rashford from the right and Paul Pogba opened the door for Burnley with a non-stop volley.
After blocking Burnley’s offensive, Manchester United won 1-0, continuing their undefeated march in their recent 11 league games.
Then, by accumulating 36 points, they brought Liverpool down to the top of the league by three points.
It’s been eight years since the 2012-2013 season of Alex Ferguson’s days that Manchester United took the lead in the mid-season.
“(Liverpool on the 18th) is a defending champion and we look forward to seeing how good we can play against the strongest team.”
Tottenham Son Heung-min, who recharged his stamina by watching the FA Cup on the bench on the 11th, retakes the league’s top scorer.
The opponent kicks off at 5:15 a.m. on the 14th of our time with Fulham, 18th place in the relegation zone.
Currently, Son Heung-min is in second place with 12 goals in the league, one goal behind Liverpool’s Muhammad Salach.
If you score multiple goals, you have 14 goals and a tie record, the most goals in a single season, made four years ago.
