Manchester United became the first team in Premier League history to recover from two separate two-goal deficits in the same match.

The club initially fought back from 2-0 down against Aston Villa to level the score at 2-2. Aston Villa then restored a two-goal advantage by scoring twice more, only for Manchester United to mount another comeback.

The achievement covers the entire Premier League era, from its formation in 1992 to the present day. No other side had previously overturned a two-goal deficit twice in one match during that period.

However, the result was not enough to lift the Red Devils out of the relegation zone in the English top flight. Manchester United remain 18th in the table.
