Steven Defour has always been a player blessed with technique and he showcased his ability to the full on Tuesday as he scored a stunning goal to put Burnley 2-0 up at Old Trafford.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho talked up his opponents pre-match but probably wan't expecting to go in at half-time two goals behind.

Burnley opened the scoring after just two minutes, but it was the second that set tongues wagging as Belgian Defour found the top corner from 30 yards.

It was a wonderful strike, with the ball nestling in the one place that David De Gea in the home goal couln't get to.
