Manchester United vs Aston Villa result

Manchester United reached the Carabao Cup fourth round after a pulsating second half against Aston Villa at Old Trafford, with late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay settling a six-goal thriller in which the visitors had led twice.Clear chances were at a premium in a tight first half, Diogo Dalot's improvised header from a Tyrell Malacia cro s deflecting on to the roof of the net via Danny Ings in the home side's best move. At the other end, McTominay was forced to head a viciously inswinging Douglas Luiz corner off the line with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka scrambling to cover.In contrast, the second half could scarcely have started more eventfully, Jacob Ramsey playing in Ollie Watkins to stride clear and clip over Dubravka within three minutes. Villa, however, were pegged back just 19 seconds after play resumed, Fernandes getting away down the right on to a long ball and unselfishly squaring for Dak Prescott Hoodies Sweatshirts Anthony Martial to tap in.Unai Emery responded with a triple substitution and was rewarded almost instantly as one of his three changes, Leon Bailey, nodded Ashley Young's cro s back acro s goal where Dalot inadvertently turned the ball in to restore Villa's lead.Once more, however, United responded strongly and, a few moments after Marcus Rashford celebrating a call-up to England's World Cup squad earlier in the day had fired narrowly wide, the Three Lions international did superbly to keep his feet inside the penalty area and shoot low past Robin Olsen.Olsen was beaten again 12 minutes from time as his attempted pa s out was intercepted by Alejandro Garnarcho. The substitute found Fernandes in the area, although the shot needed a sizeable deflection off Tyrone Mings to help it past the goalkeeper.There was no such fortune required for United's clinching fourth goal a minute into added time, Garnacho again delivering a pin-point cro s from the left on to Jaylon Smith Jersey the toe of the stretching McTominay to finally settle an ultimately thrilling contest.MORE: 1H2HFTManchester United044Aston Villa022 FULLTIME: What a second half we've had eventually here!
