Manchester United snatch 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in Premier League

Manchester United came back from two-goal deficits twice to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, scoring twice in stoppage time. Patrick Dorgu equalised in the 96th minute after Joshua Zirkzee had pulled one back, but the result left United in the relegation zone after 10 games.

Aston Villa took an early lead through Alisson, then doubled their advantage when Nicolas Jackson scored from the rebound after another Alisson attempt. Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the penalty spot after Boubacar Kamara brought down Matheus Cunha in the box, before Youri Tielemans equalised ahead of the break.

Villa regained the lead after the break through a penalty converted by John McGinn, then Leon Goretzka made it 4-2 after the ball rebounded off the post following Leny Yoro’s attempt to clear it towards his own goal. In the closing minutes, Zirkzee scored in the 92nd minute, then Dorgu headed in the equaliser after Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki failed to deal with a corner.

Manchester United remained in the relegation zone after 10 games and were still looking for their first league win since August. Aston Villa moved into the top half of the table with the point, having twice let a two-goal lead slip.
