"Man Utd" footballers - the new leaders of the "Premier" league © PA

On Tuesday evening, three postponed matches of the English Premier League were played. The difficult victory on the road was achieved by the Manchester United team, which defeated Burnley by a minimal score of 1:0. Although the first half ended without goals, there was no shortage of events. In the 28th minute, Burnley's player Robbie Brady committed a foul right at his penalty area, and the referee decided to use VAR assistance to determine if it was not a last hope foul. The three-minute consultation ended with the referee returning to a slightly earlier moment, and the foul was already recorded by Luke Shaw in front of Man Utd's goal. In the 37th minute, the captain of the Red Devils, Harry Maguire, sent the ball into the net, but the referee recorded a highly questionable foul, and the score remained unchanged. In the second half, the guests began to completely dominate and this eventually bore fruit. In the 71st minute, Paul Pogba gifted his team a victory with a great strike. After the conceded goal, Burnley became more active and had several chances to equalize, but the final whistle confirmed Man Utd's victory. The Red Devils became the sole leaders of the Premier League and lead Liverpool by three points. These teams will face each other on Sunday. Other results: Sheffield United 1:0 Newcastle, Wolves 1:2 Everton.
