Hojlund ends goal drought as Man United made a comeback to beat Aston Villa

Rasmus Hojlund provided the winning goal for Manchester United as they made a remarkable comeback from a two-goal deficit to secure a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa.

The team faced criticism at halftime but rallied, with Alejandro Garnacho scoring their first goal in several matches before adding another to equalize. Hojlund’s goal, his first in the Premier League since joining the club, sealed the win and ended United’s four-game winless streak.

The victory lifted them to sixth in the Premier League, while Villa’s title challenge has been affected by their recent winless run. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa remains in third place, three points behind leaders Liverpool after suffering their first defeat in 11 matches.

Manchester United’s recent struggles had intensified pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, but this hard-fought win may provide a crucial boost as the club seeks to turn the season around.
