London: Manchester United's new signing Alexis Sanchez scored on his home debut in a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town as they took advantage of a slip by cross-town rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday. It took 55 minutes before Romelu Lukaku broke the deadlock after which Sanchez won a penalty, had it saved by Jonas Lossl, but tucked away the rebound in the 68th. City paid the price for missed chances as they drew at Turf Moor with Johann Berg Gudmundsson's 82nd-minute equaliser earning Burnley a point. Raheem Sterling produced one of the misses of the season from two metres out and Burnley made the most of that let-off. Huddersfield's defeat at Old Trafford dropped them into the bottom three for the first time since being promoted.
