Premier League as it happened: United draws against Burnley in Fletcher’s first game
We’re only a few days into 2026, but we had some great Premier League matches to kick off the first full week of the new year!
Fresh from the departure of Enzo Maresca as head coach, Chelsea embarked on a new era as they took on west London rivals Fulham. However, with new boss Liam Rosenior looking, Fulham were able to snatch a 2-1 win over the Blues.
Manchester United found themselves in a similar position: Interim manager Darren Fletcher took charge for the first time following Ruben Amorim’s sacking as they travel to Burnley, where they had to settle for a point in a 2-2 draw.
Elsewhere, we had more Premier League games, including Manchester City drawing 1-1 over Brighton & Hove Albion, and Bournemouth defeating Tottenham 3-2.
Barcelona were also in action in Saudi Arabia, rolling past Athletic Club 5-0 in the Supercopa de España semifinal.
Enjoy all the updates from Wednesday’s matches.
