Finalizing Tuesday’s Boxing Day in the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Aston Villa and achieved a Christmas miracle. At Old Trafford, United won a comeback victory of 3-2. Villa took the lead in the first half with goals from McGinn and Dendoncker. In the second half, Erik Ten Hag’s team came back in a different gear and turned the match around with two goals from Garnacho and one from Hojlund.
