Manchester United drew 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday 8 November, in the Premier League's 17:30 CET kick-off. Villa scored twice inside four minutes, through Alysson and Nicolas Jackson. United came back to 2-2 by half-time with a Bruno Fernandes penalty and a Youri Tielemans goal, then fell two behind again, to a John McGinn penalty and a Leon Goretzka goal, before Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored in the six minutes of stoppage time. United stay 18th, in the relegation zone, with one win from ten games. Villa are tenth. ## How it happened Villa's official report says Alysson scored with 60 seconds on the clock, a first-time finish at the end of a move started by Jackson, and his first goal for the club. Less than three minutes later Senne Lammens, United's goalkeeper, could only block a shot from Alysson, and Jackson tapped in the rebound. ESPN, which carries the Associated Press report, says United had never before gone two goals down so quickly: three minutes and 42 seconds, a club record. United were back in it by the 16th minute. Matheus Cunha was brought down in the area by Boubacar Kamara, the referee Chris Kavanagh pointed to the spot, and Fernandes scored the penalty. Villa's report says their goalkeeper Zion Suzuki then made saves from Cunha and Amad Diallo. On the stroke of half-time Noussair Mazraoui pulled the ball back for Tielemans, who made it 2-2. Three minutes into the second half Diogo Dalot brought down Alysson, and McGinn sent Lammens the wrong way from the penalty spot. In the 53rd minute a McGinn free-kick was headed against his own crossbar by Leny Yoro; Jackson got to the rebound and Goretzka scored his first goal for Villa. United hit the crossbar late on through Mason Mount, then scored twice in stoppage time. Zirkzee steered the ball home in the second added minute, and in the sixth Dorgu headed in from a Fernandes corner. ESPN's report says Suzuki appealed that he had been fouled at the corner; the goal stood. Neither Villa's report nor ESPN mentions a red card or a decision by the video assistant referee (VAR, the official who reviews key decisions on a screen). Villa's report says Unai Emery made three changes from Tuesday's game at Barcelona, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis at right-back for the suspended Matty Cash and Goretzka and Alysson starting. It was Emery's 200th Premier League game. Michael Carrick, United's head coach, said afterwards, according to ESPN: "We haven't won enough games, but I expect to move forward and keep working what we've been working on." ## What it changes United have eight points from ten games: one win, five draws and four defeats. They are 18th, level on points with Sunderland in 19th, who beat Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday, and one point above Crystal Palace, who lost 1-3 to Liverpool. Nottingham Forest and Coventry City, in 16th and 17th, have nine points each. ESPN says United have won one league game this season, in August, and are now eight league games without a win. Villa have 13 points and sit tenth, one behind Leeds United and Brentford. Their report says this was a sixth league game unbeaten and Jackson's ninth goal of the season. The international break follows: the fixture list in our data has no club match in the next week, and Villa's report says their next league game is at home to Sunderland on Saturday 21 November at 16:00 CET. ## What the market said A betting price is a crowd's opinion written as a number, and dividing 1 by the price gives a rough chance.
