After the match, Burnley boss Scott Parker praised his side's flexibility after a tactical tweak paid off instantly against United.

Having moved to a back-five for much of the season so far, Parker deployed a 4-3-3 formation on Saturday afternoon as Burnley picked up a crucial victory.

Goals either side of halftime from Lesley Ugochukwu and Loum Tchaouna inflicted a disappointing defeat on Daniel Farke's side, who despite dominating possession rarely tested their hosts after falling two goals behind.

With an extra midfielder on the pitch, Burnley were able to push Ugochukwu forward early on and that freedom allowed the 21-year-old to ghost in behind Anton Stach and head home Kyle Walker's wicked cross.

And Parker was happy to see that decision pay off early doors.
