Result: Manchester United 3-1 Burnley
Date: 18 April 2021
Venue: Old Trafford
Mason Greenwood and Edinson Cavani were among the goals as Manchester United moved eight points behind Manchester City with a 3-1 win over Burnley.
The game got off to a lively in the early stages as Bruno Fernandes went close with a curling effort on 14 minutes after Chris Wood was denied by Henderson.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men continued to dominate as they went in search of an opening goal, with Rashford forcing Peacock-Farrel into a fine save on 30 minutes.
That was trend for the rest of the half as both sides only managed to carve out a couple half chances in the latter parts of the stanza.
United got the breakthrough two minutes after the break as Rashford picked out Fernandes who dummied the ball to allow Greenwood to fire home from 12 yards out.
However, Burnley were level two minutes later when James Tarkowski rose above Harry Maguire to head past Henderson from an in-swinging corner.
After waves of pressure, United had to wait until the 84th minute for the second goal as Greenwood complete his brace with a deflected effort that sailed into the bottom corner.
Cavani wrapped up the win for the Red Devils in second-half stoppage time with a simple finish from Donny van de Beek's cross after a swift counter-attack.
