BIRMINGHAM, Jan 16 — Aston Villa debutant Philippe Coutinho came off the bench to inspire a thrilling comeback in a gripping 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United in the Premier League yesterday.
Coutinho was immediately involved though and 10 minutes later he played a big part as Villa got themselves back into the match with a well-worked goal struck home by Jacob Ramsey. The draw left United in seventh place with 32 points from 20 games, five behind fourth-placed West Ham United with a game in hand, after picking up only five points from their last four league games. Villa are in 13th spot with 23 points.
He had never scored or even assisted a goal in seven Premier League appearances against United while at Liverpool.“I missed these games in the Premier League, like I said I’m very happy to be here,” Coutinho, 29, told Sky Sports. United, seeking a first away league win under Rangnick, were impressive in the first half with Mason Greenwood twice being denied by Martinez although Villa’s other new signing, left back Lucas Digne bought from Everton, forced a fine save by De Gea.
