Aston Villa defeated Manchester United 2–1 on their home ground. In the 17th round of the English Premier League, the hosts continued their winning streak and maintained momentum in the title race.
The visitors, despite a quick response, remained without points. Aston Villa opened the scoring just before halftime. Morgan Rogers entered the penalty area and accurately struck the far corner.
However, the Red Devils quickly equalized. Matheus Cunha scored by lofting the ball into the net in a one-on-one situation with Emiliano Martinez. After that, the match intensified and saw an increase in dangerous moments.
In the second half, the hosts increased their pressing. In the 58th minute, Rogers scored a brace. Controlling the ball at the edge of the penalty area, he sent a shot into the top corner.
Following this, United intensified their attacks, applying pressure with long passes and set pieces. However, Aston Villa stood firm in defense.
Additionally, the referee did not award a penalty for a handball incident in the penalty area. Towards the end of the match, several yellow cards were issued by the referee.
Ugarte played aggressively against Kamara, and later Bogarde fouled Dorgu to stop him. Furthermore, the game was briefly halted in the first half due to Martinez's injury.
