You're listening to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Welcome along. A busy Wednesday evening saw eight live matches on Sky Sports, including a West London derby between Fulham and Chelsea and Manchester United's trip to Turf Moor to play Burnley. Here is how the evening unfolded. A crash course in the ups and downs of senior football management for Darren Fletcher. whose team trailed in the first half to an own goal from Aiden Heaven but got back on an even keel in the second half by Benjamin Sheshko coming to life with two goals his first two since the two he'd scored in his entire United career to date. Jadon Anthony then came off the bench and in a whirlwind scored a cracker of an equalizer but beyond that Manchester United still went close two long-range efforts from Shea Lacey one that crashed off the bar and another one that had Burnley Hearts fluttering late on that went wide Burnley have put up a good fight and for them it's a decent point but
How do you address this one from Manchester United's point of view, Gary?
What happened in the Premier League matches on this eventful Wednesday night?
Look, it's been a struggle for both teams recently. A change in management this week. I don't think there'll be too much joy at what they've seen tonight. It doesn't look like it anyway.
But...
they were better in the second half but they'll be really disappointed with that second goal that they conceded it was good from Burnley's point of view but I think Manchester United have to defend that better and another two points dropped against teams near the bottom of the league Wolves, Leeds, Burnley, West Ham dropped so many points this Manchester United team in this last three or four weeks and keep missing those opportunities to go into fourth place Yeah, three draws in a row now for Manchester United, so fourth place again closes to them for now. As it finishes the turf, more Burnley 2, Manchester United 2. Good point for Burnley. I'm not sure how helpful that will be in their bid to escape the relegation places, but for Manchester United, it felt like they had it in their grasp after Cesco's double early in that second half.
Would it feel like two points dropped, Jamie? Absolutely. When you go 2-1 ahead and you're thinking, OK, they could go get three or four, it would start to enjoy it. They obviously never had that luxury. Congratulations, obviously, to Burnley. You know, Jade Nance comes on, scores a good goal, good equaliser from their perspective. But when you get in that position, you go 2-1 ahead. But I think it just shows you the inconsistency right now. Gary Neville's right. They're dropping points against teams at the bottom. They haven't got the qualities to kill teams off. Tim, what else do you think we learn? What will Darren Fletcher and Manchester United have learned from that? Well, I think the positive is Cesco scoring.
He's scoring two goals. Hopefully he gets some confidence from that. He took six months to turn up at Man United. I'm pleased for the lad. He's had a tough run of it. I had him off the pitch at half-time, never to wear a Man United shirt again.
I wasn't going to remind you, Tim.
I wasn't going to take you there. Yeah, listen, I stand by what I'm saying. He's not good enough to play for Man United. But he looked it. He plays at that level, surely. Yeah, no, he's turned up for one game against Burnley who are going to get relegated. Look, fair play to him. Hopefully he gets some confidence and we start seeing something different for him. I'll put him in my fantasy team. Well, maybe it helps if he's got Bruno closer to him. If he's got crosses coming in from left and right. When Bruno comes off, I know he's not been injured, but when he comes off the pitch, I think they lose control. I think he's one man who can put the foot on the ball. He passes the time over. He passes it to the right people at the right time.
And I think they miss that guy, or they really do. So they're well short of quality. That's what Man United are. That's what Jamie says. You need to be able to kill the game off. You need to be able to dictate the pace of the game.
