For the first time since April 2024, a South African scored in the Premier League.

Manchester United secured a tough win at home against Burnley in their third Premier League match.

The Red Devils took the lead in the first half with an own goal from Josh Cullen, giving them a slim advantage at halftime. However, the real action came after the break.

Burnley quickly equalized with their first shot on target. Jacob Bruun Larsen delivered a cross from the right, and Lyle Foster finished it with a one-touch shot. This goal was notable as it was the first by a South African in the Premier League since April 20, 2024, when Foster was the scorer.

Soon after, Burnley seemed poised to take the lead when Foster netted again, but his goal was ruled out for a controversial offside.

The Clarets scored again through Jayden Anthony, but in the 90+7th minute, Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty, securing a last-minute win for United.
