- Manchester United 2-1 Aston Villa
Aston Villas Douglas Luiz slipped against the referee when he pointed to the penalty spot just a minute after Bertrand Traore drew 1-1 at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian had a hand on Paul Pogba’s shoulder, but it seemed that the biggest reason for the Frenchman’s fall was that he tripped over his own legs.
But also the VAR team let the punishment stand, and then Fernandes was ruthless.
In the end, Aston Villa exerted pressure, something Solskjær was not happy with.
– I vYou are not very happy with how we played the last ten minutes.. We must control the game better, we must learn to do it when we are in the lead. I am very happy with the victory and the achievement, but there are always things we have to work with, said Solskjær in an interview that was shown on TV 2.
However, he did not respond to the channel’s question as to whether Manchester United are now a title contender.
Martial goals
After a somewhat tame first half, he was cut from Manchester United in the 40th minute.
However, it was not the best match we have seen for Aron Wan-Bissaka. Inside the area, Tyrone Mings miscalculated and Anthony Martial headed the ball into goal.
Before that, the teams had a few half chances each, and Manchester United also called for a penalty. It was the aforementioned Mings who planted an elbow in Pogba’s face on the field, but the hosts achieved nothing at Old Trafford.
The decision
After the break, a cooler Aston Villa hit the canvas and immediately took advantage of the sleepy Manchester United defense.
John McGinn and Jack Grealish took a quick free kick, recovered the ball and served a cream pass to the area. Luiz missed, but Traore came right behind and worked his way into the tie.
He woke up the local team. That he went straight to the attack and got the penalty that ended in a goal.
In extra time, Matty Cash fired a good long shot, but David De Gea made a good save.
