The Frenchman’s 71st-minute volley from the edge of the area was enough to secure a victory over the Clarets and lift United to the top of the Premier League.
Speaking to MUTV at full-time, Paul said: “We knew it would be difficult, we knew it. Always when you come here, you know it’s going to be a war.
“You need to keep calm and we did this. It was very hard in the first half and then in the second half we came out with the good mentality and we got the goal. We got the result that we wanted.
