Manchester United vs Aston Villa: Late drama amid shock Villa win
After both teams had plenty of chances throughout, and United lost Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw to injury, it was Villa who took the lead in the 88th minute.
Kortney Hause headed home as it looked like he had secured just a second win in 46 Premier League games against Man United for Villa.

Man United slump, mounting injuries a worrying trend for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
MANCHESTER, England — Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been at Manchester United long enough to know that you are never more than one game away from a crisis, and after Aston Villa‘s 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday, it’s now three defeats from the past four games for the Norwegian.
A first Premier League defeat to the season — thanks to Kortney Hause‘s 88th-minute winner and an even later penalty miss from Bruno Fernandes — followed on quickly from the Carabao Cup third-round exit to West Ham on Wednesday and a shock defeat at Young Boys in the Champions League on Sept. 14.
Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire both injured for Manchester United
Luke Shaw hobbled off with an injury for Manchester United vs Aston Villa, and so too did Harry Maguire.
That is half of United’s, and England’s, defense going down in the same game.
As for Shaw, the England left back was subbed off in the first half at Old Trafford. Luke Shaw suffered the injury early in the first half and tried to play on.
Shaw, 26, has stayed relatively injury free for most of the last two seasons but the England international looked dejected as he hobbled off at Old Trafford.
However, 10 minutes before half time he was subbed off as Diogo Dalot replaced him. It looked like Shaw suffered a hamstring or upper leg injury, as he pulled up initially after a Manchester United attack.
Manchester United stunned by late Aston Villa header, lose as Bruno Fernandes misses injury time penalty
Manchester United recorded 28 shots against Aston Villa on Saturday, had 60 percent possession, earned a penalty kick in added time yet still lost, 1-0. It was Kortney Hause’s dramatic 88th-minute winner that helped Villa pull off the upset of the weekend, spoiling a chance for United to move to the top of the Premier League table.
The Red Devils were on the front foot all match long but managed to put just four of their 28 shots on frame. Superstar midfielder Bruno Fernandes had the chance to rescue a point in added time via a penalty kick, but the Portuguese player sent the ball flying into the stands at Old Trafford with a horribly executed take. Curiously, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored over a 100 penalty kicks in his career, did not take the kick with his fellow efficient countryman getting the opportunity. United have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions, including being booted from the EFL Cup against West Ham on Wednesday.
El Manchester United de Cristiano Ronaldo se desinfla ante al Aston Villa
El Manchester United se desinfló ante el Aston Villa. No es que no tuvieron opciones, un penalti fallado por Bruno Fernández fue la estaca que selló su derrota 1-0, la cual es su primer descalabró de la temporada.
Los de Solskjaer empezaron dominando tímidamente el partido. El noruego decidió prescindir de Sancho para poner a Pogba en banda izquierda. Lo cierto es que el exjugador del Dortmund todavía no ha conseguido exhibir su mejor versión por la que se pagó 85 millones de euros. No obstante, la decisión de alejar a Paul del centro del campo fue algo parecido a pegarse un tiro en el pie. El francés se encontró perdido lejos de la zona de creación y los locales lo notaron.
Cristiano acechó desde lejos la portería de Emiliano Martinez y Bruno intentó de manera constante filtrar pases y poner centros peligrosos. No obstante, el Aston Villa no venía a Manchester a pasearse. La más clara llegó por parte del conjunto visitante, que tras una buena pared en banda derecha. Matthew Cash puso un centro raso y medido para que Targett rematase a portería vacía. Sorpresivamente el marcador no se movió.

Dibu celebró el yerro con un baile frente a los fanáticos locales.
