The deadlock was finally broken after the interval, when Casemiro diverted a flicked header into the bottom corner. United's lead only lasted for 11 minutes before Ross Barkley fired hard and low into the net, putting Villa back on level terms. Things got even better 10 minutes from time when substitute Benjamin Sesko added another to make sure of the result. A hugely important goal that rubber-stamped the result.
