Mason Greenwood's double and Edinson Cavani's late strike gave Manchester United their fifth straight Premier League win as they beat Burnley 3-1 to move within eight points of leaders Man City
The first half was frantic but goalless, and it was United who took the lead just after the break through Greenwood (48), smashing home at the far post from Marcus Rashford's centre and a clever Bruno Fernandes dummy
Burnley were level just 114 seconds later as James Tarkowski rose highest from an Ashley Westwood corner (50), but Greenwood got his second, finding the near post at the right of the box from a deflected shot off Jack Cork (85)
Half-time sub Edinson Cavani converted Donny van de Beek's centre at close range for 3-1 in stoppage time (90+3), and the result means that, with six games remaining, United's gap to rivals City is now eight points, while the gap to fifth place is now 12 points
Burnley remain 17th, six points ahead of Fulham in the relegation zone and with a game in hand
Old Trafford was a home from home for Burnley, having been unbeaten there in four games, and they nearly had the perfect start but for the offside flag sparing Dean Henderson's blushes
Racing out to meet a long ball, Henderson was beaten to it by Chris Wood, who looped a header into the net, but Wood was just ahead of last man Luke Shaw
 United, notorious slow starters in recent months, had survived
Both sides had chances in an energetic first half - Paul Pogba saw a looping header tipped away by Bailey Peacock-Farrell, but headed over unmarked from a corner later in the half, while Rashford also stung the hands of the Burnley goalkeeper from an angle, and Greenwood was inches away from reaching Rashford's flash across goal at the far post
At the other end, Wood continued to cause problems, directing a header from Matt Lowton's cross wide, and then shooting off-target on the swivel 12 yards out
The game had been threatening goals from minute one, and they came in quick succession early in the second half
Cavani was introduced at the break for Fred, but it was Greenwood who provided the clinical edge, firing into the net at the far post after the ball had rolled to him unmarked from Rashford, via a lovely Fernandes dummy
But Burnley reacted well and levelled shortly after; Tarkowski looked to have been sandwiched by Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from a Westwood corner, but he stayed airborne to direct a header into the corner of the net from six yards
United huffed and puffed for a winner - Fernandes' header was saved well by Peacock-Farrell - and got it with five minutes remaining through Greenwood's fifth goal in six games
Cutting in from the right, Greenwood's low, left-footed effort fortuitously deflected off the foot of Cork and found the net, meaning Greenwood is now the joint-top scoring teenager in Premier League history for United (15, level with Wayne Rooney)
United missed two good chances to get a third - Peacock-Farrell saved superbly from Scott McTominay before Fernandes rounded the goalkeeper but could not finish - before it duly came in stoppage time
Sub Van de Beek, getting some rare Premier League minutes for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side wriggled free on the left of the box, before squaring for Cavani to tap in
 Only Solskjaer himself in 1998-99 (5) and Javier Hernandez in 2010-11 (5) have more Premier League sub goals in a season for United than Cavani's four
"He was excellent
 He's got a really good habit of hitting the target when he gets chances
 He contributed coming off the bench against Spurs, and his first is a lovely goal
"There's big pressure playing through the middle, and players have struggled with it, so maybe in the wide position there is less responsibility and less pressure
 Maybe it does suit him
""I think he's got more room to manoeuvre on the right
 When he comes onto his left he has more options, with Wan-Bissaka on the overlap sometimes
 His technique is just delightful, the way he strokes the ball
"Manchester United now go to Leeds on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League at 2pm, while Burnley travel to Wolves at 12pm in the Premier League on the same day
