Joey Barton 3/10 as Burnley fall to defeat vs. Manchester United

First-half goals from Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney saw an under-strength Manchester United through to an extremely comfortable 2-0 victory at Turf Moor on Sunday. Burnley have now won just one of their last 11 matches and a comeback was never likely. The Clarets weren't even able to muster a single shot on target.

With Bournemouth, Hull City and Swansea City having collected important home victories earlier in the weekend, Sean Dyche's side are left five points above the relegation zone and while they should stay up, there are nervous weeks to come.

Positives

The Clarets started the game very well and were arguably the better side for the first 20 minutes, committing plenty of players forward and causing United problems at the back.
