- 14:02The decisive late corner and Dorgu's involvement come here, before the final whistle.
Aston Villa built a two-goal lead at Old Trafford, lost it, then built another. Even that was not enough to finish off Manchester United.
Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored in stoppage time to salvage a 4-4 draw, with Dorgu meeting a late corner to complete United's second comeback. The commentary supplied the simplest description: "Pandemonium at Old Trafford!"
NBC Sports' highlights drew more than half a million views within nine hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. The comments dwell on the strain of watching United, John McGinn's finger-twisting celebration and whether there was a foul on the goalkeeper before the final equalizer.
The highlights barely have time to settle. Alysson scores in the opening minute, and Nicolas Jackson doubles Villa's advantage after a goalkeeping fumble. Bruno Fernandes pulls United back into the match from the penalty spot, before Youri Tielemans levels against his former club following a VAR review.
Villa go ahead again through McGinn's penalty and a close-range Leon Goretzka finish. Then comes the stoppage-time rescue.
For all the celebration, United remain 18th. That contrast carries into NBC Sports' separate studio reaction, another fast-starting upload, where Rebecca Lowe joins Gary Neville and Phil Neville to unpack the draw. Gary Neville's verdict in its title is considerably quieter than the match commentary: United are in "a really sorry situation."
