Anthony Martial opened the scoring for Manchester United against Burnley on Sunday afternoon, registering the club's first Premier League strike at Turf Moor in over 40 years.

United had scored just once in their last four league games at the stadium, with that goal coming from Lou Macari in April 1976.

Martial, who started the move before playing a neat one-two with Ander Herrera, calmly struck the ball past Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton after 21 minutes.

6 - Ander Herrera has provided six assists in the Premier League this term, as many as in his previous two campaigns combined. Inspired.

43 - Man Utd have scored their first PL goal of the season against Burnley, with what was their 43rd shot against the Clarets. Peppered.

The goal also marked the first goal against the Clarets in the Premier League this season, having drawn the reverse fixture 0-0 earlier in the campaign.

United move to just one point behind rivals Manchester City with a victory against Burnley, just days ahead of the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium on April 27.
