Come from behind draw

<p>Aston Villa's Marc Albrighton (right) clashes with Manchester United's Patrice Evra in the Premier League match at Villa Park on Saturday. Manchester United staged a dramatic fightback with two goals in the last nine minutes to salvage a draw after Albrighton had scored to put Villa 2-0 up.</p>A dramatic late equaliser from Nemanja Vidic earned Manchester United a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa on Saturday that extended their unbeaten run to 26 games in all competitions.

Vidic capped a remarkable fightback from Sir Alex Ferguson's team with a header five minutes from time to paper over the cracks of a below average performance from United.

Ashley Young's penalty and a close-range finish from Marc Albrighton had given Villa hope of securing their first victory over United on their own turf since 1995.

But United substitute Federico Macheda reduced the deficit with an emphatic strike nine minutes from time before Vidic stooped to head in a leveller and earn a barely deserved point.
