London, March 16 Manchester United strengthened its position in the top four with a 3-1 victory at home against Aston Villa on Sunday.
This win puts Michael Carrick's team in third place, ahead of Aston Villa, which has now lost its last three Premier League games.
Casemiro opened the scoring at Old Trafford with a powerful header in the 53rd minute, following a cross from Bruno Fernandes, although Ross Barkley scored a left-footed shot to make it 1-1 after an assist from Lucas Digne in the 65th minute.
Matheus Cunha capitalized on another Fernandes assist seven minutes later to slide the ball home and restore Manchester United's lead, while Benjamin Sesko secured the points in the 89th minute, according to Xinhua.
Richarlison scored an equalizer in the 90th minute, giving Tottenham a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, which could ease the pressure on coach Igor Tudor, who was heading for his fifth defeat since taking over.
Liverpool had taken the lead with a free kick in the 18th minute, thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai's free kick, which Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario might have been able to prevent.
This draw leaves Tottenham a point above the relegation zone, as the other two games involving teams battling to avoid relegation both ended in 0-0 draws, with Nottingham Forest drawing at home against Fulham, while Leeds United drew away against Crystal Palace.
