So remember when, five minutes ago, we claimed Marc Albrighton's goal sunk Manchester United? Now five minutes from full time, United's back even, with one of Villa's nemesis sparking teh comeback.
Aston Villa Vs. Manchester United: Federico Macheda, Nemanja Vidic Keep Sunk United Afloat
That nemesis is Federico Macheda, the young Unied striker whose brace two years ago at Old Trafford culminated one of the most remarkable comebacks in recent Premier League action. Today, Macheda pulled United within one in the 81st minute, five minutes after Albrighton's goal, when he put a Darren Fletcher back heel lay-off into the upper 90, beating Brad Friedel from 17 yards our.
Four minutes later, Villa’s lead was gone, with United defender Nemanja Vidic’s brilliant header equalizing at two. The Serbian stalwart pushed forward to Friedel’s far post, laying out to get on the end of a Nani cross from the left flank. The diving effort end into the net just as Vidic slight into touch, just to the right of Friedel’s far post.
It is a typical United comeback after a typically befuddling performance. With the match now drawn at two and five minutes of stoppage time showing on the board, United seems destined for a winner. At least, that’s how this usually plays out.
