The worst part of the game was seen in the first half.. Aston Villadespite having a certain responsibility to win because they are the home team, He didn’t kick the backside once. Manchester Unitedmeanwhile, showed the irregularity of the Ten Haag era. He was strong in defense again but did not generate much in attack.
One of the few dangerous plays in that first half was Garnacho’s far corner shot, from the left, which Dibu Martínez controlled, without effort, after a great flight to his right post. There is very little for two teams with such ambitions.
Aston Villa and Manchester United did not know how to achieve the goal in the Premier League
In the second half the Villains showed a different side. A more aggressive. In the opening minutes they gave United a corner and created a couple of scoring chances, with crosses from the wings and some long range shots that Onana knew how to disable.
However, they were again the most obvious to the visitor. First, with a shot from Rashford, who hooked from left to right and from the crescent of the area he took a very powerful but focused shot. Dibu Martínez responded with pure leg power and managed to deflect it with his fingertips. Some time later, the play was again from the other side, with Antony’s shot that Dibu caught without rebounding.
But the most important part of the game for United happened between those two spells. After a betrayal against Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes came close to breaking the deadlock from a free kick. The shot, powerful and aimed, crashed against the crossbar almost at the junction with the post. Dibu Martínez flew but he had to be watched closely as the post saved his goal.
Aston Villa tried to respond with their secret weapon: John Durán. The Colombians went in to play for the last half hour hoping that he would be, as he was, the revolutionary scorer who would unleash the game and win in the end. It didn’t happen.
However, in injury time, Villa had their clearest chance after an overflow from the left and center crossed everything into the area. Philogene only came in from the right and shot at the near post but Dalot’s body prevented the home team from scoring.
It was a good summary of the game, two organized teams but not many goals. After 26 games, Aston Villa and Manchester United tied 0-0 again. For Dibu Martínez, on a positive note, this is her first unbeaten streak this season.
With this result, Aston Villa is in 5th place with 14 points. Manchester United, meanwhile, are still very low in the table, 14th with just 8 points. The next Premier League date, October 19 after the FIFA date, sees United at home to Brenford. Villa, meanwhile, will visit Fulham.
