The center back started the game on the bench, came in for Phil Jones, and scored just one minute after going into the pitch.

Like in a movie script, the hero came from nowhere. Following Phil Jones' substitution just after five minutes of playing time, Chris Smalling managed to come into the pitch and send the first ball he touched into the back of the net, helping Manchester United take the lead against Burnley.

Even with Danny Ings equalizer six minutes later, Manchester United were determined to make their home field advantage count. And who were they going to call? Chris Smalling! Once again with a header, United's number 12 sent the ball past Tom Heaton, giving the Red Devils a lead that they would never lose again. 

After the break, Burnley tried hard to equalize, but David De Gea kept his goal unbeaten. Just when the game entered its final stretch, Angel Di Maria was brought down inside Burnley's box, with Robin Van Persie taking the responsibility of shooting the penalty kick. The Dutch striker made it count, and now Louis Van Gaal's team will sleep in the Premier League's third place, following Southampton's scoreless draw against West Ham.
