Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani equalled a record set by his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after scoring against Aston Villa.

It comes in a 3-1 win for the Red Devils at Villa Park, where they had to come from behind yet again.

Cavani's goal was the 34-year-old's eighth in seven matches to mark an incredible stretch of form.

But it was also the striker's fifth Premier League goal from the bench - equalling Solskjaer's record in 1998/99 when he grabbed the same amount as a substitute - the same year he scored the winner against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

The veteran forward will see his contract expire at the end of the year and plans are in place to sign a new one.
