#1 Late comeback maintains the unbeaten run under Ole

United and comebacks often went hand in hand and more so in the first half of this campaign. Solskjaer's United has scored first in every game, barring today, in which they played and won all of them. However, the fans wanted to witness how the team would react once they concede first in a game under the new manager.

After a goalless first half, Burnley opened the scoring against the run of the play through Barnes after a mistake by Pereira in the midfield. Woods doubled the lead with few minutes left on the clock leaving United to pull off a memorable comeback in the last ten minutes of the match.

Pogba scored from the spot to give United fans a lifeline and then Lindelof made it 2-2 in injury time. However, time was against the home side as they couldn't create any more chance to score the winner. In the battle for the top four, it was a massive two points dropped, but Ole would take the fight back as a positive from the match.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
