Manchester United could not secure a seventh straight Premier League win as Aston Villa held on to a 1-1 draw despite playing 25 minutes with 10 men.


Christian Benteke put Villa ahead after 18 minutes at Villa Park, curling home superbly from just inside the area after escaping the attention of Jonny Evans.


Radamel Falcao pulled United level after the break, getting in behind Ciaran Clark to head past Brad Guzan from Ashley Young’s superb left wing cross.


Gabriel Agbonlahor was sent off for Villa in the 65th minute, going in hard on his former team-mate Young in a 50-50 challenge, catching the United man on the ankle.


But Villa held on for a point, and even had a few chances of their own late on through Leandro Bacuna and Benteke.
