Man United Set New Premier League Record In Dramatic 4-4 Draw With Aston Villa

Manchester United set a new Premier League record in their dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa, in Sunday's fixture at Old Trafford. According to OptaJoe, Man United became the first team in Premier League history to trail by two goals and level the score twice in the same match.

The Red Devils endured a disastrous start as Alysson Edward scored after just 59 seconds, forcing the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Nicolas Jackson then made it 2-0 in the fourth minute by pouncing on another Lammens spill.

This was the earliest United had ever trailed by two goals in a Premier League game, breaking their previous mark from a 2023 match against Nottingham Forest. Man United fought back before half-time as Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 16th minute after Boubacar Kamara fouled Matheus Cunha.

Youri Tielemans (facing his former club) equalised in the 44th minute to make it 2-2 at the break.
