And the three-point streak ends with a draw

Radamel Falcao rescued a point for Manchester United at Villa Park this morning with a brilliant second-half header as the Reds were held 1-1 by ten-man Aston Villa. The Barclays Premier League’s lowest scorers took the lead against the run of play on 18 minutes through Christian Benteke’s fine finish, before Falcao struck early in the second period to earn a draw for United, who remain third in the table. Louis van Gaal stuck with the same system which helped United overcome Liverpool, but he made two changes to the first XI, with Darren Fletcher coming in for the ill Marouane Fellaini and Falcao's first start since Everton at home at the start of October. No yellow cards were shown, but United’s cause was given a boost on 65 minutes when the hosts went down to ten men as Gabby Agbonlahor was sent off for a late tackle. The Reds should've done something with that opening. Drawing isn't good enough when it comes to improving their position on the table. Just one point at a time isn't going to put the silverware back in Old Trafford's trophy cabinet. LVG needs to shape up or ship out.
