Manchester United visited the new boys Burnley , at their Turf Moore. Burnley is a club that has the thinnest purse to buy players, and nothing much was expected of them.
But they had decided from the start that they would give Manchester United a real fight.Michael Owen was chosen as a striker for this match, and Fabio Capello watched on from the stands, but to everyones supprise he was a complete failure , and around half time Ferguson decided that it was more then enough as they were by now chasing Burnley as Robbie Blake hade scored the one goal of the match, so Ferguson brought on Dimitrov Berbatov in the place of Michael Owen, but things did not change at all. Manchester had a glorious chance to equal the score when Patrice Evra was brought down , and a penalty was awarded in Manchesters favour. The supprise taker was Michael Carrick , and it was a very poor weak shot, saved by the goalkeeper. People wondered why Rooney or Giggs did not take the penalty, it was a costly miss.And could very well be Burnleys biggest win in the E.P.L history.Manchester tried hard and sent players forward but luck ran out , so did the time. It was Burnley first win verses Manchester United in 41 years.
