The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Kortney Hause scored a late winner before Bruno Fernandes missed a stoppage-time penalty as Aston Villa recorded a rare Premier League victory over Manchester United, winning 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Man Utd were on top early on, but Villa missed two great chances to take the lead. Matt Targett shot over from close range and Ollie Watkins shot too close to David De Gea.
Man Utd lost Luke Shaw to injury before going close twice just before half-time. Harry Maguire’s header was saved well before Paul Pogba’s header went narrowly wide.
Maguire went off injured in the second half before Hause headed in Douglas Luiz’s corner with two minutes remaining.
Hause then turned villain, conceding a penalty in stoppage time through handball. But Bruno Fernandes fired over the resulting spot-kick.
A second Villa win over Man Utd in 46 Premier League matches lifts them to seventh with 10 points. Man Utd drop to fourth on 13 points.
