It was supposed to be a good day for DeAndre Yedlin, who was named to the starting lineup by Rafa Benitez for the second straight match and the first time in league play. It began as such as he forced an own-goal with a cross for the match’s only goal (so far).
However, he was forced off the field in the 73rd minute after a clash with Aston Villa’s Jordan Ayew.
73' - DeAndre Yedlin down again for United and he receives treatment towards the Holte End. Cheick Tioté will come on in his place.
