Four wins in a row for Manchester United, and the credit for that fourth goes to one and only Scott McTominay. The terrific Scotland international stepped up again, proving to be Erik ten Hag’s super sub, by netting a late header for a 2-1 win at Aston Villa.🚨 GOAL | Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United | Scott McTominay pic.twitter.com/B1xWxqpb4w— VAR Tático (@vartatico) February 11, 2024 The Red Devils boss, Erik ten Hag, punched the air in delight as his side moved to within five points of their hosts, who remain fifth and six adrift of Tottenham.The visitors started fast and determined at Villa Park and took a deserved lead through Rasmus Hojlund’s fifth goal in five Premier League games.Five goals in five consecutive games for Rasmus Hojlund 😮#BBCFootball #AVLMUN pic.twitter.com/dyKNNtyEgf— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) February 11, 2024 However, Unai Emery’s side found ways to bounce back and did it after the break, well into the second half, through Douglas Luiz. He fired home from Leon Bailey’s cross with over 20 minutes to go, but it was still far from over.Especially considering that Ten Hag has got his silent midfielder-turned-to-poacher hero on the bench. Substitute McTominay headed Diogo Dalot’s first-time cross in from close range with four minutes of normal time to play to earn United a precious three points.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 24Saturday Manchester City – Everton 2-0 (0-0)/Haaland 71, 85/Luton – Sheffield United 1-3 (0-2)/Morris 52 pen – Archer 30, McAtee 36 pen, Souza 72/Liverpool – Burnley 3-1 (1-1)/Jota 31, Diaz 52, Nunez 79 – O’Shea 45/Fulham – Bournemouth 3-1 (2-0)/De Cordova-Reid 5, Muniz 36, 52 – Senesi 50/Wolverhampton – Brentford 0-2 (0-1)/Norgaard 35, Toney 77/Tottenham – Brighton 2-1 (0-1)/Sarr 61, Johnson 90+6 – Gross 16 pen/Nottingham Forest – Newcastle United 2-3 (2-2)/Elanga 26, Hudson-Odoi 45+6 – Guimaraes 10, 66, Schar 43/Sunday West Ham – Arsenal 0-6 (0-4)/Saliba 33, Saka 41 pen, 63, Gabriel 44, Trossard 45+2, Rice 66/Aston Villa – Manchester United 1-2 (0-1)/Luiz 67 – Hojlund 17, McTominay 86/Monday 23.00: (4.40) Crystal Palace (3.50) Chelsea (1.85)***odds are subject to change
