Manchester United fell two goals behind inside four minutes against Aston Villa in their Premier League fixture on Sunday, according to ESPN. The broadcaster reported that the quick start marked the fastest time United have gone 2-0 down in a Premier League match in the club's history.
Villa's lead later stretched to 4-2, with BBC reporting that United looked set to remain second from bottom of the table. ESPN carried live score and commentary on the match, while Sky Sports and The Telegraph also provided live updates.
The result adds to a difficult spell for United, who were already in the lower reaches of the standings before kick-off. BBC's live coverage framed the match around United's position near the foot of the table as Villa built their advantage.
The four-minute collapse is the detail most likely to draw scrutiny, given ESPN's note that no United side had previously conceded twice so quickly in the Premier League era.
What to watch next: United's league position once the weekend's results are complete, and how the club responds after a defeat that BBC's coverage suggested leaves them second bottom.
