Not even the most optimistic Burnley fan could predict a victory against Man United, everyone was certain of a Man United victory and betters were hopefully of getting some quick dosh in exchange from this match. Burnley had other plans and set out to play a delightful game which shocked the visitors. Man United were far from their best , off form and not looking like scoring they had every attempt broken by down but the man Burnley really should thank is Brian Jensen. "The Beast" as he is more popularly known by Burnley fans denied Manchester United at every chance and even took a hit to the face to prevent Berbatov late on.



Robbie Blakes power drive sent Burnley ahead much to the delight of the Turf Moor faithful and it is Turf Moor that will likely be a heralding ground of hope for Burnley and they should look to utilize their home advantage to stay up. No team should enjoy going there and if they can manage to turn it into a fortress then they have a great chance of staying up. A good start to the season is also needed but the crest of the high wave after this performance will be allowed to continue for a day or so before Coyle rallies he's men for the next game.
