Soccer-Sesko double but Man United held to 2-2 draw at lowly Burnley

BURNLEY, England, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko scored twice as his team kicked off the post‑Ruben Amorim era with a familiar sense of frustration in a 2-2 Premier League draw at lowly Burnley on Wednesday.

United, with interim manager Darren Fletcher in charge, would have climbed to fourth in the table with a win but remained sixth on 32 points. Burnley are 19th, eight points adrift of safety.

United looked headed for victory before Burnley substitute Jaidon Anthony struck the equaliser against the run of play in the 66th minute, capitalising on lackadaisical defending to launch a blistering shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Burnley had stunned the visitors in the 13th minute when a cross from Bashir Humphreys took a big deflection off United defender Ayden Heaven and looped into the far corner of the net.

Sesko ended a nine-game goal drought in the 50th minute, however, when he ran onto a perfectly weighted ball from Bruno Fernandes, and fired a low shot first time past Martin Dubravka, and the Slovenian striker completed his double 10 minutes later when he steered home Patrick Dorgu's cross with a superb volley.

United had several chances to nab a late winner, including a powerful strike against the crossbar by substitute Shea Lacey.
