US EditionVilla to File Complaint over Ref Choice for United Game
- Aston Villa lost 2-0 to Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford, ending their hopes of Champions League qualification.
- The loss came after Emiliano Martinez was sent off shortly before half-time and a contentious goal by Villa’s Morgan Rogers was ruled out in the 73rd minute.
- Referee Thomas Bramall, the second least experienced among ten Premier League officials that day, blew an early whistle for a foul on Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir before Rogers scored.
- The Premier League match centre clarified that VAR could not intervene because the referee had already blown the whistle before the ball crossed the goal line.
- Aston Villa officially complained to the Premier League about the referee selection process, arguing that more experienced officials should oversee high-stakes matches to ensure VAR's effectiveness.
