MU came from behind to win 3-2 against Aston Villa in the match early this morning in round 19 of the English Premier League this season.
MU hosted Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the context of coach Ten Hag's team having a series of 4 matches without a win in all competitions. Aston Villa opened the scoring in the 21st minute after a goal by John McGinn. This player's free kick from the right wing created a very uncomfortable trajectory that MU goalkeeper Onana could not block.

Five minutes later, Aston Villa doubled their lead thanks to Dendoncker's brilliance. After a corner kick from Aston Villa's right wing, MU's defense appeared quite passive. Lenglet inside made a header and then Dendoncker connected and scored against Onana.

Two quick goals put MU in a difficult situation right at home. The first half ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Aston Villa, making the "Red Devils" fans think about the next defeat of Coach Ten Hag and his team.
However, that did not happen because in the second half, MU rose strongly. The "Red Devils" showed a completely different appearance after the break. The team at Old Trafford attacked like a storm and scored a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 59th minute. 19-year-old player Garnacho finished accurately in the penalty area after Rashford's cross, causing Aston Villa's net to shake.

In the 71st minute, the score was level at 2-2. Garnacho continued to add his name to the scoreboard. Garnacho won the ball in the penalty area after an attempt to clear the ball from an opposing player. The 19-year-old's decisive finish forced Emiliano Martínez to pick the ball out of the net for the second time.
With high spirits after 2 goals from Garnacho, MU scored the 3rd goal in the 82nd minute. The "Red Devils" made the fans at Old Trafford explode with Hojlund's goal. The Danish striker's volley in the penalty area sealed a 3-2 victory for MU. Hojlund finally "opened his account" in the Premier League after 1026 minutes of play.

With the victory over Aston Villa, MU has narrowed the gap with the Top 4. The "Red Devils" (31 points) are in 6th place on the rankings, 5 points behind the 4th place team Tottenham. However, Tottenham has played 1 less match than MU.
