Manchester United rescued a dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford after twice trailing. Under-pressure boss Michael Carrick saw his side fall 2-0 inside four minutes but fight back to level before half-time. Villa reasserted dominance after the break, racing to a 4-2 lead, only for United to launch a stoppage-time revival.
Joshua Zirkzee pulled a goal back in the 92nd minute, and when Villa's goalkeeper Zion Suzuki faltered at a final corner, Patrick Dorgu headed the equaliser. The point lifts Villa into the top half but feels like two dropped points. United remain in the relegation zone after 10 games, a club at odds with its fans but still capable of incredible comebacks.
Carrick bemoaned "totally avoidable" goals as a lamentable defence conceded more than any other in Europe's major leagues.
