PEEP! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEP! MANCHESTER UNITED 4-1 BURTON ALBION
Tony Martial, Juan Mata, and Jesse Lingard were simply sensational as were Juan Mata and Ander Herrera; United were simply too good for Nigel Clough's side... although Dyer did make the Brewers the first side to score at Old Trafford this season.
That's all for me, Anirudh Menon... thanks for the company!
91' The corner is a decent and United scramble to clear it but they cant Marphy's ball into the .box befuddles Perreira and Mason thumps a header of the bar, it bounces back out.....
89' Oh Martial. How bloody quick are those feet of his - nothing comes of it but that little shimmy to get rid of three defenders on his tail is the reason why United fans' favourite chant is the one that goes "50 million down the drain, Tony Martial scores again"
87' Flanagan tries to pick out Mason's run but Lindelof intercepts and it's United countering..... Lingard tries to bully his way into the box but four men in yellow converge and bring him down n what can only be called Beckham territory in this grand ol' ground... Martial really, really, wants to take this
86' Mason does superbly to step away from Herrera and he feeds it to Dyer. The pacy winger squares up Darmian and skins him on the outside before slapping a powerful shot just above Perreira's crossbar
84' Dyer has been awfully quiet this half - curiously Burton haven't been finding him enough this half, and their latest attempt to is emphatically prevented by Darmian
79' OOOOO MARTIAL! Lingard plays him in with another lovely ball and Martial races in behind Flanagan before placing a shot just wide of Ripley's far post. The Frenchman has been brilliant tonight
78' Clough is not holding back as he takes off defensive midfielder Akpan for top-scoring striker Lucas Akins. Mourinho responds by taking off Romero and throwing on Joel Perreira
77' Lund steams in behind Shaw as United's switch to back three continues to open spaces down their flanks - but his cut back toward Varney is well intercepted by Lindelof
74' Burton continue to pass the ball around well on the edge of the box and this time Lund comes up with a superb ball that finds Akpan at the far post... he rises high above Lindelof, but the Swede does just about enough to put the Burton man off - and he heads it to row Z
70' Another United counter is stopped - this time by Warnock slamming into McTominay with the most professional of fouls. Easiest Yellow card decision the ref will make in his career.
69' Oh ho. Darmian tests his goalkeeper's footballing skills with a sharp backpass but the Argentine does himself proud with a smart clearance that allows Herrera to start a counter... it ends when Luke Shaw's ball into the box doesn't find it's intended target and it rolls away for a goalkick
68' That corner leads to another that is then worked out frantically by the Burton defence.... United come right back and Martial takes the ball off Herrera - the Spaniard deferring to his on-fire French teammate - and tries to pick out Lingard but Naylor does well to intercept.
67' Another lovely Lingard pass frees up McTominay and the young man races into the box - but Warnock does ever so well to slide in and make sure it's just a corner
65' OH HO HO! Lingard's pulling out all the tricks tonight. Played in by Carrick, he notices the ball is a touch behind him so he pirouettes and backheels the ball to Martial in one smooth motion - and it takes a very alert Naylor to nick the ball off Martial's toes
64' OOOOO! Lingard finds himself in acres of space as he is played into the box by Shaw but his touch to tee himself up is a touch loose and Burton hack the ball clear.
Tony Martial, Juan Mata, and Jesse Lingard were simply sensational as were Juan Mata and Ander Herrera; United were simply too good for Nigel Clough's side... although Dyer did make the Brewers the first side to score at Old Trafford this season.
That's all for me, Anirudh Menon... thanks for the company!
Toodle-ooo!
