Wow! What a comeback. A game of 80 minutes + 10 and added time.
Their second goal was highly dubious. Villa’s keeper didn’t have the ball fully under control … but … in these days when keepers are supposed to be sacrosanct within their own 6-yard box, I don’t think it should have been allowed. A suspicion of offside as well.
But until that point Villa had done little of note. The Jedi’s passing was awful most of the time, but I suppose it’s his first start for a couple of months and was rusty. I suspect Jack will be rusty too when he returns.
Villa at no time looked as though they were disheartened, and they got back for two reasons: (1) because Villa had more tenacity and concentration than the Blades and (2) bringing on Green was just what was needed i.m.o. His support play was a bit all over the place, but his shot produced Villa’s second goal and then he scored himself what was a real striker’s goal.
I also thought Whelan did a good job and was willing Villa to recovery just by himself.
With Mings and Elphick mainly looking solid, it now needs Jack to sort out our midfield issues. But we shouldn’t be dependent on one player.

But for the moment let's recollect that this season we've seen not one but three absolutely amazing score-draws at VP, starting with that 3-3 result vs Preston which we might have won at the death; the 5-5 result versus Forest. And now this.
