In the first instance, it was great pressing from the Clarets midfielder. On another day, a referee may even have awarded a generous free-kick. Barnes may not have finished clinically past one of the world’s best keepers in David De Gea. But he did, and United were behind for the first time since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the wheel.
Andreas was clearly frustrated and disappointed. I watched him carefully for the period after the goal and he tried manfully to bounce back from the mistake but it was probably inevitable he would be withdrawn. Not immediately, mind, and I wondered if this was an opportunity to judge his character in such circumstances.
