Rasmus Hojlund made a significant impact by scoring a crucial late goal, marking his first-ever goal in the Premier League. Manchester United staged a comeback from a two-goal deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-2. The visitors, represented by goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker in the first half, had secured a comfortable lead at halftime. Although United believed they had narrowed the gap with a goal from Alejandro Garnacho, which resulted from a splendid team play, it was disallowed due to an offside decision.
Nevertheless, the prohibited strike provided a boost to United, and shortly thereafter, Garnacho found the net, putting an end to United’s goal drought of over seven hours. With 20 minutes remaining, Garnacho scored again to equalize, setting the stage for an electrifying conclusion to the game. United dominated the final stages, and Hojlund capitalized on being in the right place at the right time, smashing in his first Premier League goal for the club to propel United into the lead.
