Manchester United 2-1 Aston Villa: Fernandes sends Red Devils level with leaders Liverpool

 Goal difference is all that separates Liverpool and Manchester United at the top after the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Bruno Fernandes' penalty sent Manchester United level on points with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League as they edged Aston Villa 2-1 at Old Trafford.

A Villa side looking to move third in the table always promised to pose a tricky test for United and so it proved in an open encounter.

The visitors appeared to be in the ascendancy after Bertrand Traore's 58th-minute effort cancelled out Anthony Martial's first-half opener.
