Man United Secures First Win with Stoppage-Time Penalty Amid Amorim Pressure

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim faced intense pressure following a humiliating League Cup exit to fourth-tier Grimsby Town, with his future uncertain. However, a dramatic stoppage-time penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes secured a 3-2 Premier League win over Burnley, potentially strengthening Amorim's position ahead of forthcoming discussions about his role. The match saw United squander leads twice before the late penalty, awarded after a VAR review for a shirt pull on Amad Diallo, ultimately decided the outcome. Fernandes' successful penalty contrasted with earlier misses, highlighting his crucial role in salvaging points for United. Despite this relief, doubts remain over Amorim's ability to restore United to their former status as the team prepares for a high-profile derby against Manchester City. Meanwhile, Chelsea benefited from controversial refereeing decisions in a 2-0 win over Fulham, whose manager expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating.
