DARREN STAPLES / AFP

Manchester United scored twice in stoppage time to rescue a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, but still head into the international break in the Premier League relegation zone.

Villa scored twice inside the opening five minutes before United levelled before half-time through Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans.

John McGinn restored Villa’s lead from the penalty spot early in the second half before Leon Goretzka made it 4-2.

United then produced a late comeback, with Joshua Zirkzee scoring in stoppage time before Patrick Dorgu headed in the equaliser.

The result leaves United 18th on eight points.

Elsewhere, Brighton moved up to second after beating Brentford 2-0, Liverpool won 3-1 at Crystal Palace, Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0 and Bournemouth won 2-1 at Ipswich.
