Manchester United vs Aston Villa
The full-time whistle sparks jubilant celebrations at Old Trafford as United fans celebrate a magnificent 3-2 comeback victory over Villa. They were left with it all to do as McGinn's bizarre free-kick and Dendoncker's flicked finish had the visitors two goals to the good at the break, but United's young guns managed to turn things around. Firstly, Garnacho fired home from Rashford's low cross, before the Argentine levelled with a deflected effort. Hojlund got the winner, taking advantage of a loose McGinn touch in the box to find the back of the net for his first Premier League goal, one that proved to be the winner as the hosts saw out the remaining minutes. It's a huge win for United as they end their winless run, picking up three points that move them up to sixth. For Villa, they miss the opportunity to move level on points with leaders Liverpool, staying in third. They will look to get back to winning ways when they host struggling Burnley on Saturday, while United will hope to win again when they travel to Nottingham Forest. That is all we have for you from Old Trafford, so thanks for your company and goodbye!
