After conceding a goal, Aston Villa rose strongly.

Most of Aston Villa’s shots went wide. If the ball hit Man Utd’s goal, it would not be possible to win against Onana.

Entering the second half, left back Shaw was injured and could not play, forcing Man Utd to make a substitution.

Onana continued to play well in front of Man Utd’s wooden goal with good blocking situations.

Not long after conceding, coach Ten Hag put McTominay on to replace Rashford. The Scottish midfielder rose to play like a striker, pushing Fernandes to the right wing and Garnacho to the left wing.

Both teams had no intention of seeking a draw, Aston Villa attacked more, but the home team’s strikers continued to appear hasty and unlucky.

Suddenly, in the 85th minute, Dalot made a flexible cross from the right wing into the center of the penalty area. McTominay rushed in and headed the ball bravely from less than 5 meters away, putting the ball into the net while goalkeeper Martinez was helpless.
