Manchester United 4-4 Aston Villa: Dorgu's 96th-Minute Header Caps Historic Double Comeback — but United Stay in the Drop Zone
MANCHESTER — Manchester United twice fought back from two goals down to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa in an eight-goal thriller at Old Trafford on Sunday, 8 November 2026, as Patrick Dorgu's header in the sixth minute of stoppage time rescued a point in front of a crowd of 74,149. Joshua Zirkzee had pulled one back in the second minute of added time, and Dorgu completed a comeback that made Premier League history — yet the draw still leaves United 18th, inside the relegation zone, on eight points from ten matches — their lowest position after at least ten league games in 40 years. For Aston Villa, it ended in frustration: Emery's side led by two goals twice and left with one point, on the day their manager took charge of his 200th Premier League game.
