00:00
Aston Villa's must not lose game against Manchester United has ended in, well, defeat.
00:06
Five points is now the gap between Man United and Aston Villa.
00:10
It could have been 11 at the home side come out victors tonight.
00:13
But it's a deserved three points, I think you'd have to say, in terms of the finishing ability of Manchester United.
00:19
Villa, I think they're a better team going forward. They created more chances.
00:23
Defensively, some errors once again, like we saw against Chelsea, like we saw against Newcastle United.
00:28
They haven't been cut out. And then just not that clinical edge from the likes of Oli Watkins,
00:33
Moussa Diaby coming off the bench as well, Leon Bailey, Jacob Ramsey.
00:37
They all had opportunities to kill this game. They could have got back into it making it 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc.
00:43
They did get back into it in the second half. Douglas Luiz scoring from a Leon Bailey cross after a corner.
00:49
That was a very good finish. Fair play to the Brazilian, his seventh Premier League goal of the season.
00:53
But other chances weren't converted when they should have been.
00:55
I think Oli Watkins probably should have had about two or three tonight going through on goal.
00:59
John McGinn as well. I mean, you can't take anything away from him.
01:01
A very good effort in the first half, got so much power behind it. Onana saved it.
01:06
I think credit has to go to Man Utd's goalkeeper today, actually.
01:09
He did make quite a few impressive stops to keep Villa out of their net.
01:14
But it was those errors, as I mentioned, in the first half. The first goal, Rasmus Hoyland.
01:19
Bubikar Kamara failed to head away a corner. Harry Maguire nuzzled it in to Hoyland, who was able to put it beyond MartÃnez, through his legs.
01:27
Before that, Hoyland probably should have scored, as Douglas Luiz gave the ball away.
01:31
Clemen Longley wasn't quick enough to react as well. Bruno Fernandes got there first.
01:35
Played in Hoyland, who messed up his chance in the end. Diego Carlos swiping in to clear that one away.
01:41
And then, late on, the goal. 86th minute it was to make it 2-1 to Man Utd.
01:46
Scott McTominay heading in from a Diego Dalot cross.
01:49
Well, Matty Cash should have done so much better. Matty Cash today, actually.
01:53
So many errors, again. He did put in a couple of decent crosses going forward.
01:58
Looks a bit of a threat, but defensively, his positioning was poor.
02:01
And he struggled to deal the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and then, of course, McTominay right at the end.
02:06
Just not strong enough in the challenge, allowing McTominay to head in for 2-1.
02:10
And Villa couldn't, in the end, get another goal back.
02:13
A huge three points for Man Utd. A huge three points drop for Villa.
02:17
And, well, the gap now being five.
02:19
If Villa don't sort themselves out, especially at home, which is a weird thing to say, considering the record earlier in the season,
02:25
well, Chambers League dreams could be slipping away very quickly.
