Emery heads for tunnel early as Villa draw 4-4 with Manchester United

Aston Villa drew 4-4 with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Villa twice lost a two-goal lead in this match. The home side secured the draw with Patrick Dorgu's goal in the 97th minute.

Villa head coach Unai Emery walked towards the tunnel before the match had finished. There were two more minutes to play. Emery said the goal came in the 96th minute and six minutes of added time had been given, so he thought the match was over. When asked whether the goal had an emotional impact, he denied it and said the goal was not unjust.

Villa challenged the legitimacy of United's fourth goal. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens was alleged to have obstructed Zion Suzuki's movement during the corner kick. Villa's director of football operations, Damian Vidagany, also questioned the validity of the goal.

After the match, Emery highlighted the positives of the result. The head coach said the team needed to keep progressing through the process.
