Man Utd v Aston Villa
Zion Suzuki (Aston Villa) Drop of Ball at 25'
Match Timeline & Momentum
Commentary
There's a brief moment of concern for Emery when Maatsen stays down on the turf, rubbing his head. Aston Villa are already missing most of their full-backs, but he's fortunately able to continue.
Though his leadership style is sometimes questioned, few can doubt that Bruno Fernandes is a master at set-pieces. Man Utd's captain has now scored 28 penalties in the Premier League, with only Alan Shearer (56), Frank Lampard (43), Mohamed Salah (35), Harry Kane (33) and Steven Gerrard (32) successfully converting more.
Bruno Fernandes overhits a throughball towards the right byline, meaning Tielemans has to stretch. As a result, the Belgian midfielder can only prod his cross straight towards Suzuki, who swiftly drops down and smothers it.
Inevitably, pulling a goal back has settled United somewhat, and the crowd are firmly on their side once again. Emery will be keen for Villa to quell any building momentum.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! MANCHESTER UNITED GET ONE BACK! Not for the first time this week, Bruno Fernandes steps up to the spot and delivers - this time at his first attempt! A stuttered walk-up leads to a calm finish down the centre of the goal, sending Suzuki the wrong way! It's now just 2-1 to Aston Villa: game on!
PENALTY CONFIRMED! After a tense few moments at Old Trafford, the VAR backs up the referee's on-pitch call and confirms Man Utd's spot-kick!
