Manchester United displayed their ability once again to grind out a victory at Old Trafford in the Premier League 2020-21 season. The hosts overcame a stubborn Aston Villa outfit 2-1 to go level on points with Liverpool at the top. Villa threatened United in attack and Emiliano Martinez kept them in the game with some fine saves. Here are further details.

Anthony Martial scored the opening goal with a stooping header from Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross after Tyrone Mings switched off. Bertrand Traore equalized for the visitors in the 58th minute with a calm finish underneath David de Gea. Three minutes later, United were awarded a penalty after Douglas Luiz clipped Paul Pogba. Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot to hand United all three points.

Manchester United are unbeaten in 10 league games

Manchester United have collected 33 points from 16 matches this season and are only behind the Reds on goal difference. Notably, United are unbeaten in 10 successive Premier League games (W8 D2). This was their fourth league win at Old Trafford this season. Meanwhile, Aston Villa's five-game unbeaten run in the league came to an end with this 2-1 defeat.
