The Mexican’s sensational hat-trick was enough to secure three points for the Red Devils, who made another sensational comeback from 2-0 to win the game.
Aston Villa have been on the receiving end of some scintillating wins from Manchester United, but the latest game at Villa Park will surely be one to savour for the visiting supporters.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 were unable to carve out any clear cut chances as the Lions showed their predatory instincts to secure the lead in the first half.
Villa’s creditable defence kept United’s potent attacking line at bay for most of the opening 45 minutes and then made the Reds pay for their inabilities by scoring the first goal on the night.
The game was divided but the hosts managed to keep their opponents to harmless ball possession that created no goal scoring opportunities.
However, as luck would have it, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Agbonlahor-c14288 showed his quality by initiating a clever run on the wing, before playing the ball
to Aston Villa’s in-form Belgian, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Benteke-c9056.
The attacker showed enough composure to sort out the ball and played a quality ball to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andreas-Weimann-c5768, who had a clear a try at the goal and scored with an emphatic finish.
Fergie was already fuming from the technical area but the worst was yet to come, as the teams went out for a break.
Things continued as they had in the first half and saw the Villans race to a surprising 2-0 lead with Weimann yet again making the score sheet.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stephen-Ireland-c34149, one of the best performers on the night, played a sweet pass to Agbonlahor, who then placed the ball on a plate for Weimann to net his brace. Simple, accurate and effective was the motto as Aston Villa celebrated a possible three points
coming their way.
United, being stuck in similar circumstances so often in the past, chose to send on Javier Hernandez for the ineffective Ashley Young and it proved to be a master-stroke, with the Mexican scoring immediately.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 played a typical long-ball to the forward, who managed to control it and slide it past the opposing keeper’s legs in one swift moment.
Luck it seems favours the bold, and that is exactly what transpired as Rafael’s threatening run down the flank and eventual cross was turned in by Chicharito for his second.
With the score poised at 2-2, it was a game who would secure victory, and as the story goes, United cemented their position as comeback kings with Hernandez adding the Midas touch through a match-winning hat trick.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guadalajara-c39463 man was on the end of Van Persie’s curling free kick and managed to make the most of the set piece via a diving header that ended up in the back of the net.
It was a case of United’s impermeable winning mentality seeping through and overtaking Aston Villa’s desire for victory in the end, but it has become a common sight for the Old Trafford faithful, although Hernandez was quick to dispel tags of being a super
sub despite his considerable contribution in the game.
"To be honest, in my mind I never think that I’m doing it to change the game or something like that. The only thing in my mind is to do my best, to do the things the gaffer told me to do and help all my team-mates with the effort to comeback because we were
down 2-0 and thankfully we won.”
“Of course [I will claim it]. I think that I hit the target and then the defender touched the ball, but I don’t know that’s the decision of the referees,” he said.
