Javier Hernandez helped Manchester United come from behind to beat Aston Villa

Sunday 11 November 2012 06:50, UK

Javier Hernandez inspired a Manchester United comeback as the visitors came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

United never know when they are beaten and after seldom posing a threat in the opening 45 minutes, the introduction of Hernandez sparked them into life. They dominated the second period and their persistence finally paid off as they took their goal tally to 29 in 11 league games. Hernandez also took the match-ball and confirmed he has every intention of claiming the second goal which deflected in off Vlaar. Either way the Mexican was the star of the show. The win stretches United's advantage over nearest rivals Chelsea to four points after another of their now famous fightbacks.
