Paul Pogba had given the visitors the lead with a lovely strike from outside the box that deflected off a burnley defender through the goalkeepers legs.

Following Pogba’s goal he and defender Eric Bailly initiated a goal celebration that involved hand-shaking and close contact between their faces.
