Zeki Amdouni secures a last-minute equalizer for the away team, preventing Manchester United from securing a win at home.
In a thrilling Premier League clash at Old Trafford, Zeki Amdouni emerged as the hero for relegation-threatened Burnley, securing a well-deserved draw with a late penalty against Manchester United.
The match was a spectacle of attacking football, with a total of 40 shots between the two teams. The scoreline could have easily been 3-3 or even 4-4, such was the intensity of the game.
Initially, it seemed like the match might end in a goalless stalemate. Both teams squandered numerous opportunities before Antony finally broke the deadlock in the 79th minute. Seizing on a loose pass from Sander Berge, he finished with conviction to give Manchester United the lead.
However, Burnley refused to be defeated and fought back just eight minutes later. VAR intervened and penalised Andre Onana for striking Amdouni in the face as he went for a cross. Amdouni himself stepped up to take the penalty and coolly sent Onana the wrong way, restoring parity for Burnley.
As the game entered its closing stages, both teams had late chances to snatch a winner. The desperation to secure three points was evident, but ultimately, a draw was the outcome. While the match provided great entertainment, it does little to benefit either side in their respective battles.
Overall, it was a pulsating encounter at Old Trafford, with Amdouni’s late penalty ensuring that Burnley left with a valuable point.
