ASTON VILLA are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification after they had a goal disallowed and VAR could not intervene.
With the game goalless, Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir appeared to get away with a huge error.
Morgan Rogers chased down Harry Maguire’s header back and nicked the ball out of the Bayindir’s hands.
The Villa man then rolled the ball into an empty net in what was set to be a crucial goal for Villa.
But referee Thomas Bramall had blown for a foul on Bayindir.
Replays showed the United stopper never had full control of the ball and the goal should have stood.
But due to the official having already blown his whistle for a free-kick, VAR were unable to overturn the decision.
Just minutes later, Amad Diallo scored to make it 1-0 to United.
It means Villa could now miss out on Champions League qualification as they are not bettering Newcastle’s result, who are also losing to Everton by a goal.
