Lammens commited atleast 2 of these the issue is it was not a hold and more of a bump #avfc
To put in context this convenient narrative of “ contact sport” we’ve been told by Referees during the summer that this season to go to unbalance or push the GK on purpose on the six hard box was not going to be allowed anymore. Lammens not even look at the ball, went straight to do a contact with the hip over Zion. Having said that we played good
Match and we must do better than last 6 minutes. We will do and we will improve. But the rules are the rules and must be respected. That is a fact.

❌ How did Leny Yoro not get sent off here?
❌ If Yoro rightly got sent off while Manchester United were 4-2 down, Aston Villa would have won the game easily.
The PGMOL have saved Man Utd again

🚨 Senne Lammens appears to FOUL Zion Suzuki for Manchester United's 4-4 equalizer

• Why did you walk out?
🚨🗣️ Unai Emery: "The referee added six minutes, and they scored in the 96th minute."
"They were pushing and disturbing the keeper... They do NOT permit that in other countries and leagues."
"I am angry about the situation, not with the players."

How VAR hasn't seen Lammens run towards Suzuki and foul him without looking at the ball once on that 4th goal is incredible.

⏰ 15 Min: Cunha dives for a penalty, yet the penalty is given
⏰ 72 min: Yoro’s red card challenge, yet Yoro isn’t sent off
⏰ 96 min: Lammens fouls Suzuki, yet the goal still stands
PGMOL 🤝 MUFC

Didn't notice in real time but that is literally VAR's job and it gets no better with every viewing. If that was on Lammens we'd be fuming so got to be honest we got away with one there
Nice touch by La Liga to have this on broadcast. Also the captain's of both sides providing a wreath together as a sign of unity of support. Some things really are bigger than football. RIP Jesus de Miguel 🕊️#AtletiBarça – at Beachmere, Queensland
Still dodgy to me than Mancunian ref gives a pen for a borderline tackle (ok fine) but fails to give a Stonewall one against Bruno for his Karate kick or rule out this.
By all means Suzuki needs to be stronger here but how is that not intentional obstruction? #AVFC #UTV #MUNAVL

It's gotta be bad when even Carra agrees it's a pen for us😅
🚨🎙️Jamie Carragher reacts to the controversial penalty incident involving Bruno Fernandes and Alysson around the 45th minute of Aston Villa vs Manchester United:
🗣️ “Look at that image. Bruno’s got his arm and body right through Alysson, clear contact inside the penalty area, and the lad goes down.
That’s a stonewall penalty. How on earth does the referee just wave that away in Manchester United’s favour? He’s nowhere near the ball, he’s wiped the Villa player out, and we’re supposed to pretend that’s fine?
That’s not just a foul, that’s a red card challenge in my eyes. If that happens anywhere else on the pitch, Bruno’s in the book and possibly off. Inside the box? Suddenly the referee goes blind and VAR decides it’s not worth a second look. Absolute joke.
This is the problem with VAR in this league right now. Some clubs get five minutes of reviews for half a chance of contact, others get the “nothing to see here” treatment for something that clear. Why do certain teams seem to benefit from these favourable calls week after week while others get robbed in plain sight? We’ve seen similar challenges given as penalties and reds in other games this season — why is it different when it’s United at Old Trafford?
PGMOL need to explain this one properly. Why wasn’t this reviewed properly? Why was Aston Villa denied a potentially game-changing penalty in a match that was already chaotic?
Because from the still and the contact visible, it looks blatant. The standards are all over the place, the double standards are obvious, and it’s killing the credibility of the officiating. Sort it out.
