The VAR crew in control of Aston Villa’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday may have made a key error in the first half.

While Aston Villa was leading 1-0, it looked that Fernandinho had dragged Ollie Watkins back, which the referee and VAR failed to notice.

Villa almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season when they raced into a 2-0 lead away to Manchester City on the last day of the Premier League season, with Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho scoring.

With Villa leading and momentum on their side, a sending-off and free-kick on the stroke of half-time might have radically changed the game, and there doesn’t appear to be much evidence to suggest this wasn’t a foul.

Watkins’ rushing in behind was clearly causing a problem for Fernandinho at this point, and with the midfielder playing center-back yesterday at the age of 37, it’s no wonder he no longer has the speed in his legs.
