Two first-half goals from Romelu Lukaku put Man United in firm charge of the game and beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor on Sunday. Manchester United avoided a third successive Premier League's defeat.

Mourinho, who demanded respect from the media after Monday's 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, had his name sung throughout the game by United's fans and even found time for a little banter with the media.

"I am (delighted) and I think some of you must be disappointed it would be much better if we lose," he said with a slight grin.

"But I think the performance was very good and very good from the first ball we touched. After 10 minutes we were playing so so well and we were missing quite easy chances that I had a feeling another Tottenham can happen but also a feeling that playing this way we have to win."

"We should have kill(ed) the game much earlier but the performance was very good, very solid and important," he added.

Cardiff City scored their first league goals of the season but Arsenal took the points as Alexandre Lacazette struck a superb late winner to secure a 3-2 victory in a Premier League thriller in south Wales on Sunday.

"I enjoyed the win, in the 90 minutes it was difficult. I think we controlled the match," Arsenal manager Unai Emery said.

"One goal for Lacazette, one for Aubameyang, but I think every other player worked well with commitment we want. We are happy for that and we are evolving."
