Manchester United 2 Burnley 2: Lingard double rescues Mourinho's men 📹
Manchester United's lingering Premier League title
hopes were dealt another blow despite them coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2
with Burnley on Tuesday.
Jose Mourinho's side were facing a defeat at Old
Trafford for only the second time this year thanks to first-half goals from
Ashley Barnes and Steven Defour, before Jesse Lingard came off the bench to
earn his side a point.
It means United have still only lost to Manchester
City at home in 2017, but they will be 15 points behind the runaway Premier
League leaders if Pep Guardiola's side beat Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The Red Devils endured a tough week before Christmas
as they exited the EFL Cup to Bristol City before conceding a last-minute
equaliser in a 2-2 league draw with Leicester City, and they found themselves
behind after only three minutes when Barnes capitalised on their failure to
defend a free-kick. United pushed for an equaliser, but were
dealt a sucker punch when Defour, once linked with a move to the club, struck a
superb free-kick before the interval.
Lingard came off the bench to flick home and give
his side a lifeline, and Burnley were denied a first away league win over
United since September 1962 when the England international fired home in
second-half injury time.
