Johann Berg Gudmundsson delivered the free-kick and United, Lukaku in particular, dallied and dithered until Barnes accepted the invitation to poke home. In the meantime Burnley almost doubled their lead when Scott Arfield's instep volley crept over David De Gea and skipped off the crossbar. Another free-kick, Young transgressing this time, handed the visitors an appealing sight of goal and Defour produced a stunner.
