Liverpool beat Burnley to top EPL, Man Utd down Villa

Manchester United have staged a rousing second-half comeback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 in the Premier League after conceding two goals inside 26 minutes at Old Trafford.

In the first game since British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe agreed to buy a stake of up to 25 per cent of the 20-time league champions, Erik ten Hag's team made a dreadful start and were booed by their own fans in the first half on Wednesday (AEDT).

Villa appeared to be heading level on points with league leaders Liverpool, who earlier won 2-0 at Burnley, after goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker put them 2-0 up. But United found a rousing response in the second half with Argentine Alejandro Garnacho scoring twice before Rasmus Hojlund won it in the 82nd minute.
