Thats all folks!
FULL TIME
They took the lead through Martial in the first half thanks to a Mings mistake.
Traore pulled on back for Villa with a composed finish from close range.
However, Fernandes grabbed what would turn out to be the winner with a clinical penalty.
All in all, a deserved win for United which puts them joint top with Liverpool.
However Villa showed yet again why they've been getting so many plaudits, every player in black putting in a solid performance.
