Man United rally from 4-2 down to draw Aston Villa 4-4

Manchester United scored twice in stoppage time to come back from 4-2 down and draw 4-4 with Aston Villa in a Premier League match at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Joshua Zirkzee pulled one back in the 92nd minute, and Patrick Dorgu headed the equalizer in the 96th, set up by Bruno Fernandes, after Villa had looked set to win it.

Villa made a flying start. Alysson scored in the first minute, with John McGinn providing the assist, and Nicolas Jackson made it 2-0 in the fourth minute.

United answered with a penalty from Fernandes in the 16th minute, and Youri Tielemans levelled in the 44th against his former club, set up by Noussair Mazraoui, to make it 2-2 at half-time.

Villa took control again straight after the break. McGinn converted a penalty in the 48th minute, and Leon Goretzka made it 4-2 in the 53rd, with Jackson providing the assist.

That looked like the decisive blow until the closing stages. Dorgu set up Zirkzee in the 92nd minute, and Fernandes then returned the favour by creating Dorgu’s header in the 96th minute. A crowd of 74,149 was in attendance.

The point leaves United in the bottom three. BBC Sport reported that the hosts’ only Premier League win this season came in August. It follows a 2-0 loss to Chelsea on Oct. 31, which we reported. Our earlier Champions League roundup also covers United.

United head coach Michael Carrick applauded the supporters at full time. The Premier League now breaks for the international period and returns on Nov. 21.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Liverpool won 3-1 at Crystal Palace, Brighton beat ten-man Brentford 2-0, Bournemouth won 2-1 at Ipswich Town and Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0. For more, see our sports coverage.
