SECOND HALF
United’s possessional dominance increased after a break featuring heavy downpours which stretched into the second half. Burnley cleared well whenever the Reds got closer to goal, however.
Abdoulaye broke through just before the hour-mark, controlling an excellent Thwaites throughball, but couldn’t lift it over the impressively outstretched Clarets goalkeeper Callum Feeney.
Feeney suddenly was called into regular action, then denying Eddie Ibrovic-Fletcher, who had just come on to replace Jariyah Shah.
Another fine right-sided Thwaites delivery was headed smartly back across goal, where Gabriel tried to control and shoot quickly, but couldn’t pull it off before the block arrived.
