London [UK], November 9: Patrick Dorgu secured Manchester United a scarcely believable 4-4 draw deep into stoppage time as under-fire Michael Carrick denied Aston Villa amid a backdrop of anger against the club's ownership.
Old Trafford witnessed an astonishing helter-skelter encounter on Sunday as the embattled Red Devils showed spirit against the odds as they had against Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday.
United again fell two goals behind as Alysson and Nicolas Jackson capitalized on wretched play inside four minutes as supporters called for the Glazers and United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sell up.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the spot, just like in the 3-2 Champions League comeback victory against Roma, and Youri Tielemans equalized against his former club just before half-time.
But renewed United hope was dented at the start of the second half, with John McGinn scoring a penalty gifted to Villa by Diogo Dalot - whose substitution would be brutally cheered - before Leon Goretzka added another.
They were the latest self-inflicted wounds in a season of gaffes by Carrick's side but the players fought until the end, with substitute Joshua Zirkzee reducing the deficit in stoppage time before fellow substitute Dorgu sparked bedlam.
Quite whether it is enough to keep the United coach in the job is another matter, with the side to spend the November international break in 18th place.
Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal of the season as fourth-placed Liverpool beat struggling Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park.
Under-pressure Eagles boss Pierre Sage's side showed promise in the first half, when they had a goal disallowed for offside, hit the crossbar, and forced Alisson Becker into several good saves.
But it was the familiar manner in which they conceded the 40th-minute opener to Alexis Mac Allister - from a set-piece - and after a promising spell, that would have especially frustrated Sage.
Wirtz, whose last Premier League goal came against the same opponents in April, doubled the Reds' advantage nine minutes into the second half.
Alexander Isak added to the visitors' lead in the 89th minute, but Andoni Iraola's side were denied a clean sheet after Eddie Nketiah scored a stoppage-time penalty.

Brentford striker Igor Thiago was sent off eight minutes later and Pascal Gross sealed a comfortable victory for the hosts with a 42nd-minute penalty.
Sunderland ended their winless run in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Chelsea at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats entered Sunday's game on a worrying run of form, but an energetic first-half display against the Blues was rewarded when Enzo Le Fee scored from the penalty spot.
Chelsea enjoyed the bulk of possession after the break but struggled to make it count as they slipped to a fourth league defeat of the season and dropped out of the top four.
