United score twice in stoppage time to draw with Villa

Manchester United staged a stunning late comeback to salvage a point against Aston Villa, scoring twice in stoppage time. Substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored the late goals to rescue a point for Michael Carrick's side.

Diogo Dalot was substituted to loud cheers after a poor performance in which he helped gift Villa at least two of their four goals. Dalot has made 257 appearances for United, more than club legends like Eric Cantona, Jaap Stam and Dimitar Berbatov.

United's sloppy defence conceded twice inside the first four minutes, with the dozing Dalot allowing Alysson to get the wrong side of him before the Brazilian fired home. Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty and Youri Tielemans netted a deflected goal against his old club to lift the gloom before half-time.

Dalot conceded a penalty early in the second half, fouling Alysson, and John McGinn converted from the spot. More calamitous defending saw Leny Yoro head a McGinn free kick onto his own crossbar, allowing Leon Goretzka to tap in Villa's fourth.

Zirkzee swept in Dorgu's cross before Dorgu headed in a Fernandes corner at the death, with Villa appealing that goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was impeded. Unai Emery left the tunnel in disgust as United completed their second dramatic rescue act in six days.
