Player celebrate Burke's goal

Sheffield United are the first Yorkshire side to ever win at Old Trafford in the Premier League and only the third to do so in all competitions in the Premier League era after Oliver Burke earned the bottom club a surprise 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

The Scot's 74th-minute strike deflected in off Axel Tuanzebe to hand the Blades only their second victory of the campaign, and their first away from home. 

Man Utd started brightly, with Marcus Rashford firing wide before Sheff Utd's Billy Sharp forced a fine save from David De Gea.

Kean Bryan then put Sheff Utd in front on 23 minutes, as he headed in his first Premier League goal from John Fleck's corner.

Harry Maguire equalised for Man Utd on 64 minutes, heading in Alex Telles's corner.

But Sheffield Utd restored their lead 10 minutes later when Burke's first PL goal went in off the underside of the crossbar.

The defeat leaves Man Utd in second on 40 points, one behind Manchester City, who have a match in hand.

The Blades remains bottom, but they now move within 10 points of safety.
