PHOTOS: Dorgu completes stunning comeback in 4-4 thriller against Aston Villa

Manchester United staged a sensational late comeback, scoring twice in stoppage time to salvage a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa in a dramatic Premier League encounter at Old Trafford.

Patrick Dorgu scored a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser to deny Unai Emery’s side victory, capping an extraordinary afternoon in which both teams exchanged goals in an entertaining eight-goal contest.

Aston Villa made a stunning start, taking the lead after just one minute through Brazilian winger Alysson Edward, who finished confidently after being set up by captain John McGinn.

The Birmingham boys doubled their advantage only three minutes later when Nicolas Jackson capitalised on a rebound after goalkeeper Senne Lammens failed to hold Alysson’s initial effort, leaving United facing an early two-goal deficit.

The Red Deveils responded by gradually taking control of possession and putting Villa under pressure.

Their efforts were rewarded in the 16th minute when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty following Boubacar Kamara’s foul on Matheus Cunha inside the box.

United continued pushing for an equaliser, with Matheus Cunha and Amad Diallo testing Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, who produced several important saves to protect his side’s advantage.

However, the pressure eventually paid off in the 44th minute when former Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans brought Manchester United level.

Noussair Mazraoui delivered a precise cutback from the left, allowing the Belgian to fire into the bottom corner and make it 2-2 before half-time.

The second half began in similar fashion to the opening period, with Villa quickly regaining control.

Diogo Dalot brought down Alysson inside the penalty area in the 47th minute, allowing McGinn to restore the visitors’ lead from the spot one minute later.

Villa extended their advantage to 4-2 in the 53rd minute when Leon Goretzka reacted quickest during a goalmouth scramble to score his first Premier League goal for the club.

Manchester United refused to surrender despite their defensive struggles.

Substitute Joshua Zirkzee reduced the deficit in the 92nd minute, finishing from close range after Patrick Dorgu delivered an inviting cross.

With momentum shifting towards the hosts, Dorgu completed the comeback four minutes later, rising highest to head home Bruno Fernandes' corner and make it 4-4.
