Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United

at Villa Park
MANCHESTER UNITED travelled to Villa Park for the final Premier League match of the weekend, buoyed by their recent form of three wins on the bounce, to face an Aston Villa team who were looking to try and rekindle their own early season form, which had seen them flirt with top spot as recently as December.
But it was the men from Manchester who ended up taking home all three points as super sub Scott McTominay once again proved to be the Red Devils’ saviour with a bullet header in the 85th minute to seal a 2-1 victory and send the travelling fans back up the M6 in jubilant mood.
The timing of McTominay’s goal was a real sickener for the home fans as it came during a period where Villa looked the most likely to snatch a winner after they had clawed themselves back into the game after going down to an Erasmus Hojlund opener.
