Bruno Fernandes eased the pressure on Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim as his last-gasp penalty sealed a 3-2 win over Burnley.

Just days after a humiliating League Cup second-round loss at fourth-tier Grimsby, United were on the brink of another damaging result after promoted Burnley twice came from behind at Old Trafford.

Amorim had admitted after the Grimsby debacle that he sometimes thinks about quitting and often "hates" his players.

His mood would have been even darker before United captain Fernandes came to the rescue seven minutes into stoppage time.

United's first win in three league games this season will give Amorim some much-needed respite heading into the international break, although questions will still be asked of the Portuguese coach after his side's latest erratic display.

"I was frustrated like any Man United fan, we had chances to score more goals. But today we were the better team," Amorim said.

Meanwhile, Tottenham were beaten 1-0 by Bournemouth to end Thomas Frank's strong start since he arrived from Brentford to replace the sacked Ange Postecoglou in the close-season.

Spurs had won their first two league games under the Dane without conceding a goal, including a 2-0 win at Manchester City last weekend.

But Evanilson struck in the fifth minute with a deflected shot as Bournemouth left North London with their second win this term.

Chelsea took advantage of a VAR controversy to beat Fulham 2-0 and go top of the table as the visitors were left to rue a series of costly decisions awarded against them at Stamford Bridge.

Jack Grealish starred as Everton beat Wolves 3-2 at Molineux.

Newcastle again badly missed the presence of a striker in their second 0-0 of the season away to Leeds.

And Sunderland staged an impressive fightback to beat Brentford 2-1 at the Stadium of Light thanks to Wilson Isidor's stoppage time header. (AFP)
