Unai Emery left frustrated as Aston Villa miss out on top spot 

Sheffield United almost had all three points in the bag until Nicolo Zaniolo's late goal rescued a 1-1 draw at home for Aston Villa. The visitors started at the bottom of the standings, with Birmingham club Villa having won their past 15 Premier League home games. 

Cameron Archer, who was traded by Villa to the Blades in pre-season, startled the home crowd at Villa Park with a close-range strike in the 87th minute. With a header seven minutes into stoppage time, Villa substitute Zaniolo salvaged a point. Villa needed a win to reclaim the Premier League lead for the first time since August 2011, having not done it in the previous 25 years. Despite dominating possession and having the best of the opportunities, they fell behind leaders Arsenal on goal difference.
