Manchester United met this challenge by Burnley head on. They were physical in the first half, they challenged for everything and Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes got no real change out of Eric Bailly and Harry Maguire.

United probably didn't dominate in the way they would've liked, they didn't pop it around quick enough, but they probably should've been ahead with that disallowed goal.

Second half was more what we expected with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings. You felt the way United celebrated that goal and the unity they showed that it was a huge moment for them in their season.

Wolves

Wolves goalscorer Ruben Neves, speaking to Sky Sports: "Like I said, it's football. About learning and improving.

"We need to see the game today and the mistakes. And we need to improve from that. Today I scored but it doesn't matter because we didn't get any points. We did well enough to get out of here with a result. They scored with their only chance in the second half.

"We have a good squad with a lot of quality."

This is the official statement from PGMOL (the refereeing body) on why Luke Shaw was booked and Robbie Brady wasn't sent off...

"In the 27th minute of Burnley vs. Manchester United, Robbie Brady was shown a yellow card for a foul on Edinson Cavani.

"On the recommendation of the VAR, referee Kevin Friend went to the Referee Review Area (RRA) to check for a possible red card for Brady for a denial of a goalscoring opportunity offence and a possible foul by Luke Shaw that was in the same attacking phase of play.

"When the referee was at the screen, he was first shown the challenge by Shaw on Johann Berg Gudmundson. He determined that this was a foul and was part of the phase of play that led to the challenge by Brady.

"The restart was a Burnley free-kick, with Brady’s yellow card rescinded, and a yellow card issued to Shaw."

Everton

Everton matchwinner Michael Keane, speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought we showed brilliant character. We had a few players missing today but showed the strength of the squad.

"We are a massive threat from set plays. It wins us games so it is massive. I thought the lads did really well, everyone worked their socks off."

On why they are so good away from home: "It is mentality. Staying solid and not conceding a lot of goals. Staying in the game and waiting for the opportunity.

"We are nearly halfway through the season now and we have showed the ambition to be up there."

Manchester United go to Anfield on Sunday as they face they team they have just overtaken at the top. A title showdown.

It's all over.

Manchester United go top of the table. That is the first time this has happened after the new year since the days of Alex Ferguson.

Ian Jones: Martial is starting to wind me up just a little bit...

Thomas Knights: Sum up Martial's season in 5 seconds, waste a glorious chance, then get injured.

Now Nemanja Matic is down. Holding his groin I think. We're two minutes past the four.

Matej Vydra volleys over with Burnley's final chance surely.

Anthony Martial is replaced by Axel Tuanzebe. We're past the four minutes added on.

Anthony Martial is limping. Did he hurt himself while taking that shot?

Anthony Martial has a chance to finish the game with 60 seconds left but shoots straight at the legs of Nick Pope.

All over and it is another win on the road for Everton - four in their last five away from home.

We're into four minutes of injury time. Ben Mee and Luke Shaw are both up fairly quickly after treatment.

Wolves lose the ball and Richarlison is suddenly charging down with just Conor Coady ahead of him. Coady does well to force Richarlison to switch direction and the Everton forward ends up running into Nelson Semedo.

Just a couple of minutes remaining...

Chance for James Tarkowski to equalise for Burnley but he just volleys his shot into the ground from eight yards.

Now Luke Shaw and Ben Mee need treatment after a clash of heads.

Burnley bring on Jay Rodriguez for Ashley Barnes. Scott McTominay replaces Bruno Fernandes for United.

Burnley 0-1 Man Utd

Now United escape thanks to the VAR. Harry Maguire has his arms up in the box and it appears to strike them after a couple of ricochets but no penalty say the officials in London.

Big scare for United as the ball drops to Matej Vydra in the box but his shot is deflected by Eric Bailly. It could go anywhere, but it's into the side netting.

Vydra volleys over from the corner.
