Sixth-placed United were fortunate to escape from struggling Brentford with a point.
Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur won to boost their Champions League qualifying hopes while Manchester United had to settle for a point and Nottingham Forest drew to edge back out of the relegation zone in the Premier League on Saturday.
Tottenham came from behind to beat visitors Luton Town 2-1 and remain in fifth place, which could be enough for Champions League football next season, with a game in hand over Villa. “We wanted to focus on our game and that is what we did. We got the three points and I got a goal myself, so happy days,” Konsa said.Son Heung-min’s 86th minute strike earned Spurs all three points against Luton to keep the pressure on Villa. Luton dropped back below Forest into the relegation zone as they were stung by South Korean Son’s late winner.

The Old Trafford side are now 11 points adrift of Villa, albeit with a game in hand, and eight points behind Spurs.

Isak’s second spot kick gave Newcastle hope and livewire Barnes equalised before lashing in a 90th-minute winner.
