Aston (Birmingham), Nov. 7 (IANS): Unai Emery’s Aston Villa came up with a superb performance to shock Manchester United 3-1 at Villa Park, handing the coach victory in his first match in charge of the club. The head coach masterminded the club’s first win in a Premier League home game versus the Red Devils since 1995 on the back of a flying start. Leon Bailey drove home the opener in the 7th minute before Lucas Digne netted a delightful free-kick to double the lead shortly after. Luke Shaw’s deflected strike just before half-time failed to deter the hosts, who wrapped up all three points when Jacob Ramsey slammed home a pass from the influential Ollie Watkins minutes after the restart. Though United held sway with 61% possession while Villa had 38%, the hosts had six shots in all of which four were on target. United took eight shots but only three of them were on target.
