Commentary
A chaotic eight-goal thriller ends all square at Old Trafford, as Manchester United's long wait for a Premier League win goes on. Despite scoring twice early in both halves, Aston Villa twice throw a two-goal lead away and ultimately have to settle for an incredible 4-4 draw. Dorgu's stoppage-time header completed United's second comeback, soon after Zirkzee had reduced their deficit to 4-2, and somehow the hosts salvage an improbable point. In the first half, Villa went two up inside four minutes, as Alysson and Jackson both struck, but Kamara's error then let United back into the match; he clumsily upended Cunha and conceded a penalty that Bruno Fernandes fired in. The hosts then pulled level through ex-Villa man Tielemans, but they crumbled again straight after the break. Dalot fouled Alysson, allowing McGinn to drive home an emphatic spot-kick, just minutes before Goretzka steered in from close range. All hope seemed lost for the home fans, and many decided to depart, but Zirkzee's goal sparked the latest miraculous revival at Manchester's 'Theatre of Dreams'. The final xG saw United finish with 3.55 from some 26 attempts - compared to Villa's 2.88 - though both coaches will be lamenting their team's dreadful defence. Despite that late surge, Manchester United go into the international break stuck inside the relegation zone, while Aston Villa inch into the top half. That's all from Old Trafford - what a way for the Premier League to sign off for its hard-earned break. Please join us again next time!
FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 4-4 ASTON VILLA
Seeking a last-gasp winner, United fly forward again. Bruno Fernandes elects to play in Dalot on the left rather than letting fly from 25 yards, and the latter shanks his attempt well wide.

Booked for dissent, Suzuki's claims that he was pushed by Lammens - of all people - are rejected by the referee.
Adding yet another Premier League assist to his record, Bruno Fernandes sends over the corner-kick that Dorgu heads home to rescue a late point.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! MAN UTD SNATCH A LATE LEVELLER! It's 4-4 at a jubilant Old Trafford! With Lammens and everyone else wearing red packed inside Villa's box, Dorgu leaps up to meet a Bruno Fernandes corner-kick and heads powerfully past Suzuki! What a finish - what a game!
