Aston Villa boss Unai Emery storms down the tunnel after last-gasp Man United equaliser
United trailed 4-2 in injury time at Old Trafford but rescued a point with a 4-4 draw and Villa boss Emery stormed down the tunnel after the goal
Aston Villa's manager Unai Emery was visibly upset after Manchester United secured a last-minute equaliser, resulting in a 4-4 draw. United had appeared to be on course for a 4-2 defeat when Joshua Zirkzee equalised in the 92nd minute. Patrick Dorgu then headed in an incredible equaliser in the 96th minute, sealing a remarkable draw.
Emery immediately left the tunnel without waiting for the VAR to confirm the goal, and before the final whistle blew. In a post-match interview, Emery suggested he left because United scored so late in the match, thinking it was effectively over. Villa had led 2-0 early on before Matheus Cunha's penalty equalised. United then went on a relentless pressure that saw them score twice within seven minutes after the restart, with Leon Goretzka scoring the equaliser.
Despite this, Emery's team collapsed again with Zirkzee and Dorgu scoring in quick succession. The result leaves United in the Premier League's bottom three, while Villa remain 10th in the table.
