Burnley vs Man United: Paul Pogba's volley sends United three points clear at the top 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men were left frustrated for the first 45 minutes of the game at Turf Moor after Harry Maguire’s header was ruled out for a debatable foul on Erik Pieters. However, with just under 20 minutes remaining on the clock, Paul Pogba struck a venomous volley to put United in front. Although the hosts pushed for an equaliser in the final stages of the game, United’s rearguard - led superbly throughout by Maguire and Eric Bailly - dug in admirably to earn Solskajer's side a second clean sheet in the last three Premier League games.

The narrow win for United meant that they moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table, after having played 17 games. It was the first time United were clear at the top after the 17-game mark since 2013 when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge of the club. Eight-time Premier League winner Gary Neville was also visibly thrilled and took to Twitter to express his joy.

It's been difficult and they're three points clear of a Liverpool side that is really good. This is not going to stop United fans getting carried away because why shouldn't they?"
