It was Bruno Fernandez's penalty again, but Manchester United do not care how she wins - as long as she wins, and she does.
The Red Devils defeated Aston Villa 1-2 last night (Friday) - an eighth win in the last ten games - and are now close to Liverpool at the top with 33 points and the same number of games, two weeks before they meet at Anfield.
"There's a reason my hair is gray," joked Ola Gunnar Solskjaer, pressed at the end.
"We should have played better, but we like to finish things the hard way. I'm very happy with what we do, we've improved a lot in one year. At the beginning of last year we lost to Arsenal - and since then we're much better. My players are the right age - they learn and are hungry to learn. "Important. I am very pleased with where we have come, the league is going to be close and every time you win you take a step in the right direction."
Solskjaer knows what he's talking about, of course: On 1 January 2020, Manchester United were ranked fifth in the table, 27 points from the top.
She is now in second place, with the same number of points as the leader.
Fernandez added: "The important thing is to score, no matter how. We continue to improve, because against Leicester we conceded a late goal. The only mistakes we made this time were that we could have scored more goals, and closed the game faster. Of course it's fun to equal Liverpool, but the league is still long "A winning mentality must be maintained."

One of the reasons for the excellent momentum of the leading winger is the improvement in the ability of Paul Pogba, who opened the season in a disappointing way and recently returned to looking like the player he once was.
“He’s constantly getting better and getting into better shape,” Solskjaer said.
"He played very well this time, Aston Villa physical team and Paul one of the players who can handle that."
Former club player and current Sky commentator Andy Cole also complimented the French midfielder: "We all knew he had great quality, he has the creativity in the world - you just have to put him in the right position. He is a very special player and should try to get the best out of him. Also to conquer, he did everything. "
Cole member of the panel, former striker Darren Bennett, also made similar remarks: "It's a big turnaround since the things of his agent Mino Raiola. If he wanted to show people that you are committed to Manchester United, that's exactly what he did. He played very well and had A big impact on the game, I hope it will now show stability. "

Not everyone liked the decisive penalty, of course.
According to Villa Dean Smith manager Paul Pogba dropped himself in the box: "At that moment I thought it was a penalty, but after the game I watched again and saw that Paul dropped himself. I do not understand why not go check, why is there a VAR? We lost because of a penalty Doubtful, there was a very, very minimal touch. "
