Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes missed a crucial stoppage-time penalty as Aston Villa secured a stunning 1-0 victory over the Red Devils in the Premier League on September 25, 2021.

The match, played at Old Trafford, saw Aston Villa's Kortney Hause score the winning goal in the 88th minute, only for Fernandes to have a chance to equalize in stoppage time.

However, Fernandes' attempt at the penalty was met with disappointment as he blasted the ball over the crossbar, handing Aston Villa a historic win over their opponents.

The match was marked by several missed opportunities for both teams, including a close-range shot by Aston Villa's Matt Targett and a fine save by Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea to deny Ollie Watkins.
