    Good work by Charlie Taylor, poor by Victor Lindelof and Burnley win a corner. Lindelof has plenty of room on Taylor, who is chasing a long ball but instead of clearing he tries to hold off Taylor and see the ball out of play and ends up conceding the corner.

    The corner comes to nothing anyway.

    Manchester United are far too slow and just waiting for things to happen. Often when you're playing against a compact defence you end up taking too many touches because you have so much time on the ball and that just has a knock on effect on the rest of the team.

    Now a joint statement from several different official organisations criticining these new proposals...

    "UEFA, the English Football Association and the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Lega Serie A have learned that a few English, Spanish and Italian clubs may be planning to announce their creation of a closed, so-called Super League," it reads.

    "If this were to happen, we wish to reiterate that we – UEFA, the English FA, RFEF, FIGC, the Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, but also FIFA and all our member associations - will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is founded on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever."

    Burnley counter and Chris Wood blasts in a low shot which is well saved by Dean Henderson.

  11. Premier League condemns Super League proposalpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 18 April 2021

    The Premier League has just released a statement criticising English clubs who want to sign up for a European Super League (which reportedly includes Manchester United).

    "The Premier League condemns any proposal that attacks the principles of open competition and sporting merit which are at the heart of the domestic and European football pyramid," it says.

    "Fans of any club in England and across Europe can currently dream that their team may climb to the top and play against the best. We believe that the concept of a European Super League would destroy this dream."

    That's spared the blushes of Dean Henderson there because he comes into no man's land, past his penalty spot trying to punch the ball off Chris Wood's head - Wood is very brave there but he's half a yard offside.

    Burnley have a goal ruled out after about 10 seconds!!

    A long ball is played forward and Chris Wood heads it over Dean Henderson - who was in the middle of nowhere - and into the empty net.
