Manchester United drew 4-4 with Aston Villa on Sunday after a late comeback, and the result has prompted a new question for supporters: should Michael Carrick be sacked?
United looked set for another defeat before Patrick Dorgu scored a late equaliser to complete a dramatic recovery at the end of a match that saw the home side trail 2-0 inside the opening four minutes.
How the match unfolded
Two goals in the opening minutes, scored by Alysson and Nicolas Jackson, put Villa ahead after poor goalkeeping from Senne Lammens. Carrick's side responded before half-time, with a Bruno Fernandes penalty and a strike from Youri Tielemans levelling the score at 2-2.
A slow start in the second half cost United again, as a John McGinn penalty and a close-range finish from Leon Goretzka gave the visitors a two-goal lead. Joshua Zirkzee's late goal looked like a mere consolation before Dorgu scored the equaliser.
Pressure on Carrick
Carrick survived the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth two weeks ago, but defeat to Aston Villa was expected to signal the end of his tenure before the latest rescue act.
United sit 18th in the Premier League table, and the November international break offers the club a chance to make a change if they wish to do so.
Readers are being asked to vote in a poll on whether Carrick should be sacked or whether the comeback has bought him more time to prove he is the right man for the job.
