Even Man Utd fans say ‘we got away with one’ and claim equalising goal vs Villa should NOT have stood after ‘foul’

'That back four gets you relegated' warns former Man Utd star as defensive crisis leaves Michael Carrick on the brink

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have admitted the team “got away with one” after foul in the build-up to their equaliser against Aston Villa.

United rescued a crazy 4-4 draw against Unai Emery‘s men in the last minute thanks to Patrick Dorgu‘s dramatic header.

The goal was vitually the last action of the game as Red Devils keeper Senne Lammens was sent up for a last-gasp corner.

But Villa fans slammed the decision to let the goal stand after claiming Lammens had impeded Villa shot-stopper Zion Suzuki in the build-up.

A clip shows the Belgian rush into the six yard box before turning around and backing into Suzuki while he was trying to punch the ball away.

Some United fans agreed they were lucky the goal wasn’t overturned, including YouTuber Mark Goldbridge.

A Villa fan had posted the moment on X, writing: “Manchester United robbed Aston Villa here! Look at Lammens impeding Suzuki, yet the goal still stands. Absolute robbery.”

Goldbridge responded: “Didn’t notice in real time but that is literally VAR‘s job and it gets no better with every viewing.

“If that was on Lammens we’d be fuming so got to be honest we got away with one there.”

Another United supporter added: “It is clearly a foul. This league is finished at this point.”

And a third said: “Not once was Lammens even looking at the ball. Villa was robbed.”

The goal was crucial as it stopped United from losing three games in a row in the Premier League and possibly gives under-fire Michael Carrick more time in the job.

The controversial moment came after Villa twice took a two-goal lead at Old Trafford, initially through Alysson and Nicolas Jackson‘s early strikes.

United then fought back to 2-2 after Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Youri Tieleman’s goal against his old club.

Villa then went 4-2 up after John McGinn‘s spot kick and Leon Goretzka‘s goal.

But United had the final say as they secured an unlikely point after Joshua Zirkzee and Dorgu struck in stoppage time.

The controversial ending clearly infuriated Villa boss Emery, who stormed down the tunnel before full time.

He was then involved in a tense interview after the game as he was asked why he left early.

Emery said: “They scored in minute 96 and there were six minutes added. I thought the match was finishing.”

He was then asked i it was unfair to leave early and replied: “Not unfair – they scored the goal and I thought the match was over.”
