Martial edges Man Utd to victory at Burnley | Match Report.

| Anthony Martial's goal was his 11th of the season |
Manchester United beat Burnley thanks to Anthony Martial's well-taken goal at Turf Moor but remain 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Martial's second-half strike was one of only two efforts on target from the visitors in a display that was effective rather than entertaining.
After a dour first half, Martial fired in off the underside of the bar after good work in the build-up from Romelu Lukaku.
Burnley pressed forward in search of a leveller, coming closest when Johann Berg Gudmundsson's free-kick hit the bar.
But United goalkeeper David de Gea rarely looked like blotting his side's fifth successive clean sheet despite a siege on his goal in the final five minutes.
Manchester City defeated Newcastle 3-1 later on Saturday to maintain their advantage over their city rivals.
