Manchester United 1-0 Aston Villa LIVE! Fernandes winner – Premier League result, match stream and updates

Manchester United 1-0 Aston Villa – as it happened.

United got back to winning ways in the Premier League with this 1-0 win over Villa on Sunday afternoon, making it 15 games unbeaten at home in the league, and taking a major step towards Champions League qualification with all three points. Bruno Fernandes arrowed in the decisive goal in the first half after Emi Martinez palmed away Marcus Rashford’s shot.

Erik ten Hag’s side were made to work hard for the victory but managed to end Villa’s 10-match unbeaten run under Unai Emery. It might have been more comfortable had Casemiro found the net instead of the crossbar in the first half, with Rashford also squandering a number of good chances. Villa threatened in the second half, forcing a goalline clearance from Victor Lindelof, but Emery will be disappointed they didn’t creat more.

See how Man United vs Aston Villa unfolded at Old Trafford below, with our reporter Dominic Booth.
