MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Substitute Jesse Lingard struck twice in as Manchester United fought back from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 Premier League draw with Burnley at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

While Lingard's goals avoided a shock home loss, the result hardly helped United in the big picture, leaving them trailing leaders Manchester City by 12 points ahead of their rivals' game at Newcastle United on Wednesday.
