Manchester United Hold Aston Villa to 4-4 Draw

Manchester United drew 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford in a goal-filled Premier League match. Villa took a two-goal lead in the first five minutes, but United levelled before half-time with a Bruno Fernandes penalty and a goal from Youri Tielemans.

At the start of the second half, Diogo Dalot's needless foul on Alysson led to a penalty. John McGinn converted the penalty in the 48th minute. Leon Goretzka restored Villa's two-goal lead five minutes later.

United held on in the final minutes. Joshua Zirkzee equalised in stoppage time, then Patrick Dorgu scored with a header after taking advantage of an error by Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki on a corner kick. Michael Carrick's side, under this result, sit 18th with 8 points and remain above Sunderland on goal difference. Earlier this week, the team had recorded its 'first win' in the league, beating Chelsea 1-0.

In other important results of the week, Brighton beat Brentford 2-0 to move up to second place. Brentford were reduced to ten men in the first half after Igor Thiago's red card, which made Brighton's task easier. Fabian Huerzeler's side is enjoying the club's best start in the top flight and went into the international break with 22 points. Crystal Palace, however, lost 3-1 to Liverpool and dropped to the bottom of the table. Liverpool rose to fourth with this win. Arsenal, who beat Hull City 1-0 on Saturday, lead the table with 27 points.
