Meanwhile, in Old Trafford, Manchester United was stunned by the visitors when Aston Villa continued to create chances in the second half with De Gea denying Watkins from close range but helpless against Kourtney Hause, who headed in Douglas Luiz’s corner at the near post to give Dean Smith’s side the lead.
The Portuguese midfielder blazed his spot-kick over the bar in the final minutes of the game, costing United their first match and the second place on the table.
