In Matchweek 21 of the Premier League, Burnley and Manchester United played out a 2–2 draw at Turf Moor. The game was packed with action, and in the end neither side could feel fully satisfied.
The hosts started at a high tempo and created an early chance. A cross from the flank deflected off Heaven and went into the net — an own goal put Burnley in front. The Red Devils took control of possession but couldn’t find an equaliser before the break.
After halftime, the visitors stepped up sharply. Šeško finished a Fernandes pass to make it 1–1. Soon after, he got in behind the defenders again and struck once more to complete his brace — it looked like Manchester United were on their way to victory.
But Burnley didn’t collapse mentally. Substitute Antony drifted inside and curled a precise shot into the top corner from just outside the box — one of the most beautiful moments of the match. The score was level again, and the pace only increased.
In the closing minutes, United threw numbers forward. Lacey hit the crossbar with a shot from a tight angle. The hosts withstood the pressure and held on for the draw.
