Aston Villa make official complaint as Premier League explain why goal not given

Aston Villa confirmed they have made a formal complaint after a goal they didn’t get given led to them missing out on Champions League football.

Morgan Rogers had the ball in the net for Aston Villa after Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir seemed to spill a Harry Maguire header back, but referee Thomas Bramall thought it was a foul.

The ball came loose and Rodgers latched on

Rogers fumed and so did the whole Villa team, while Villans manager Unai Emery was irate on the touchline.

VAR did not review the incident with the Premier League explaining: “The referee’s call was a free kick to Manchester United with Bayindir deemed to be in control of the ball before Rogers gained possession.

“The whistle was blown by the referee before the ball entered the goal, therefore the incident was not reviewable by the VAR.”

And then, just moments later, it was 1-0 the other way as Bruno Fernandes set up Amad Diallo for the eventual opener.

Christian Eriksen then settled a 2-0 win with a penalty, with the Rogers strike a hugely costly moment for Villa.

Defeat means they miss out on Champions League football next season, with Chelsea’s win over Nottingham Forest pushing them down and helping Newcastle into the final berth in fifth despite the fact the Magpies lost at home to Everton.

The club has since confirmed via social media it has written to the PGMOL over concerns Bramall was not experienced enough to officiate a fixture of such magnitude.

“With such high stakes surrounding today’s fixture, the club believe a more experienced referee should have been appointed,” the statement read.
