EPL: Man Utd set new record after 4-4 draw with Aston Villa

Manchester United have now set a new Premier League record following their 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday.

According to OptaJoe, the Red Devils are the first team in history to trail by two goals and level the score twice in the same match.

Alysson Edwards and Nicolas Jackson gave Villa a two-goal lead early in the first half.

But United went in level, thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Youri Tieleman’s effort.

Villa restored their lead early in the second half, with John McGinn converting from the spot, before Leon Goretzka stabbed home a fourth for the visitors.

Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu then scored in stoppage time to salvage a point for United.
