Already Get Penalty, MU Still Lose Against Aston Villa

JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) still lost 0-1 against Aston Villa even though they were awarded a penalty kick at the end of the sixth week of the Premier League match at Old Trafford Stadium.

In the past week, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has continued to complain to the media about the low number of penalty kicks awarded by Manchester United in recent times.

Semesta through referee Mike Dean answered the complaint with a penalty kick in the first minute of injury time after Kortney Hause was declared a handball violation in the restricted area.

Bruno Fernandes is still believed to be the executioner of Manchester United's penalty kick, even though Cristiano Ronaldo was still on the field, but what happened later was goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez successfully guessing the direction of the ball and keeping Villa's advantage until dispersed.

Hause should be the most relieved of Martinez's success, as the Villa centre-back almost squandered the advantage he had worked so hard to give the visitors with his goal in the 88th minute.

Helping Villa in a corner, Hause managed to overcome Edinson Cavani's control to head home Douglas Luiz's cross and slam the ball into the ceiling.

MU actually appeared more dominant and almost won the advantage if Paul Pogba was more careful in grabbing a wild ball in a corner kick situation at the end of the first half.

On the other hand, the more pressured Villa came close to taking an early lead in the 69th minute when Oliie Watkins, who had outwitted Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay, did not find his fine shot thwarted by a reaction no less than goalkeeper David de Gea.

The 1-0 score became a historic record for Villa, who won again at Old Trafford since 2009 and Dean Smith's side have temporarily moved up to seventh in the standings with 10 points.

Meanwhile, MU failed to add to the collection of 13 points and slipped down to fourth place, according to the official Premier League website.

United next host Villarreal in the Champions League group stage next Wednesday before returning to Old Trafford three days later against Everton.

Meanwhile, Villa will play next Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters for the Premier League match.
