Manchester United close gap on top four with late McTominay winner at Villa Park

Manchester United's Scott McTominay celebrates scoring a late winner against Aston Villa.

Rasmus Hojlund continued his remarkable renaissance by scoring in a fifth consecutive game but Scott McTominay continued a season of goalscoring heroics with an 87th minute winner that set alight Manchester United’s hopes of a top-four finish.

The Scotland international rose to head in Diogo Dalot’s late cross, punishing Villa for a string of missed chances and helping Erik ten Hag’s side move to within five points of the hosts.
