- Only 19 of 13,266 Premier League games have ended 4-4.
- United have conceded first in 80 per cent of home games this season.

## Summary

Manchester United and Aston Villa drew 4-4 in a chaotic Premier League match, a scoreline the article describes as unusually unserious. The result was United’s second 4-4 draw in a year and extended Villa’s record in a scoreline associated with teams that both score and concede freely.

Across 13,266 Premier League matches, only 19 have ended 4-4, compared with 1-0, which accounts for 17.6 per cent. United have conceded first in 80 per cent of their home games this season, while Villa have been involved in the league’s first and most recent 4-4 draws and share the all-time lead.
