He returned to positive results with an impressive upset and victory over her Aston Villa the Manchester United!
A few days after announcing their managerial changes, Erik Ten Hag’s side found themselves 2-0 down in the first half of their Premier League matchday 19 home clash with Aston Villa, but eventually managed to come back and to celebrate the great victory with 3-2!
Thus, the home team climbed to 6th place in the standings and -4 from the top four, while the guests remained at 39 points and -3 from the top, knowing their fourth defeat in this year’s championship.
Both teams went into the game cautiously, with Aston Villa opening the scoring in the 21st minute when they capitalized on the first chance they created. THE McGinn he committed a free kick from a sideline position, with the ball going past everyone and him Onana to have no answer, for 0-1.
In fact, five minutes later the guests doubled their lead, thanks to another set piece. McGinn took the corner, Lenglet moved completely unmarked at the far post and found a header for Dedockerwho had no trouble sending the ball into the net from close range for 0-2!
Then, Manchester United reacted, pressing and threatening the visitors’ goal with final efforts by Rashford (31′, 35′, 44′) and Garnazzo (32′).
The young Argentinian scored early in the second half (48′), but his goal was disallowed after the VAR signaled for offside, with United finally reducing in the 59th minute when Fernandes stole a careless pass from Carlos and Rashford gave assist take-put to Garnazzowho had no difficulty in “writing” the 1-2.
Aston Villa almost got a “safety difference” again in the 60th minute, but the Onana impressively blocked an attempt by Bailey, while in the 71st minute the home team managed to equalize, with a shot from Garnazzo to counter Carlos and the ball ends up in the net!
The complete reversal for the hosts was completed in the 82nd minute, when after a corner kick and McGinn’s inability to clear the ball, Hoywood he was in the right place at the right time, scoring his first goal in this year’s Premier League and making the final 3-2!
