Aston Villa were held to a 4-4 draw against Manchester United in a remarkable contest on Sunday that saw Unai Emery’s side twice establish a two-goal lead, only to throw it away on both occasions.

Both sides managed to implode on a bizarre evening that ended with Emery storming down the tunnel before the game’s conclusion.

The Villans started slowly in midweek at the Nou Camp, but were mesmeric in the opening exchanges at Old Trafford.
