The forward’s effort was, however, not enough to help his side continue in their winning ways after securing a victory over Everton in their last league outing.
Aston Villa raced into the lead in the 24th minute of the encounter, when Traore fired a fine effort into the back of the net, leaving goalkeeper Dean Henderson with no chance.
The Red Devils made efforts to try and level proceedings before the half-time break but could not break the defence of the Claret and Blue Army.
After the restart, Aston Villa struggled to hold on to their lead much longer and conceded in the 52nd minute when Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot after Douglas Luiz tripped Paul Pogba in the area.

Letter #18, 2021, Friday, April 23: Farewell Dmitry Letter #18, 2021, Friday, April 23: Farewell Dmitry
Today I write to tell you about
Dmitry Khafizov.
Dmitry was a man with a large heart, and a larger soul.
A mighty bear of a man… a good and noble man… from the very heart of Russia, from Kazan in Tartarstan… a Christian believer of Russian Orthodox faith… a man who, at the young age of 57, has now gone to his final rest.
Dmitry died on Wednesday, April 21, in his home city of Kazan, the capital of Tartarstan. It is said that his death may have been due to the Covid virus.
The Villa Park giants have taken to social media to celebrate their winger and his country on their recent success.

Burkina Faso – who currently lead Group B having garnered nine points from five games – will complete their qualification campaign when they welcome South Sudan to Ouagadougou’s Stade du 4 Aout on Monday in a dead-rubber affair.
