Manchester United voiced their frustrations last night as they saw Burnley ship four against West Bromwich Albion.
The Red Devils were shut out by Burnley last month in a match at Old Trafford, despite peppering the away side’s goal with shots.
Former United trainee Tom Heaton, now an England international, put in one of the best performance of his career as to thwart the great Zlatan Ibrahimovic on multiple occasions, with the Swede having 12 attempts on goal.
Last night Sean Dyche’s Burnley were not so impenetrable, losing 4-0 away to a West Bromwich Albion side which had scored only 12 goals in 11 Premier League games before last night.

Burnley slipped down into 12th place after the defeat from 11th, and the manner of the loss was certainly an exception rather than a rule.
They conceded only one against Arsenal earlier this season and kept a clean sheet against Liverpool in a 2-0 win.
The United game clearly still sticks in the throat for Red Devils supporters, who have seen their team win just one of their last six league games, and draw their past three home league matches.
