WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Coutinho inspires Villa comeback in thrilling draw

Philippe Coutinho enjoyed a dream debut as he came off the bench at Villa Park to inspire Aston Villa's fightback from 2-0 down to draw with Manchester United.

The visitors took the lead on six minutes, when Bruno Fernandes's shot from 25 yards squirmed through Emiliano Martinez's hands and into the net.

Fernandes doubled United's advantage in the 67th minute, collecting Fred's pass before firing in off the crossbar.

Nine minutes after coming on, Coutinho was involved in the build-up to Jacob Ramsey's 77th-minute goal.

The Brazilian then converted at the far post from Ramsey's cross to level on 81 minutes. 

Man Utd stay seventh with 32 points, five behind fourth-placed West Ham United.

Aston Villa are 13th on 23 points.
