At Old Trafford on the evening of May 25, in the 73rd minute, Morgan Rogers had a great chance to open the scoring for Villa when he stole the ball from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir and put the ball into the net. However, referee Thomas Bramall blew the whistle before the ball crossed the line, claiming that Rogers had committed a foul.
The problem is that Bayindir did not have complete control of the ball. VAR could not intervene because the whistle had cut off the situation.
Therefore, Aston Villa has officially filed a complaint to the Premier League Organizing Committee about the selection of referee Bramall. The team believes that Bramall – who does not have much experience in refereeing big matches – should not have been appointed to referee such a key match.
The consequence of this defeat is that the Villa Park team is in 6th place on the table, meaning they cannot participate in the Champions League. Unfortunately, coach Unai Emery’s team is only behind Newcastle in terms of goal difference.
Missing out on the Champions League will cost them big money, and Aston Villa are close to breaching the tournament’s financial regulations. This could force manager Unai Emery to sell key players. Striker Ollie Watkins has been on Arsenal’s radar, while Morgan Rogers is also being pursued by many teams after a stellar season.
If they can’t maintain a strong squad, Villa risk falling short in both the Premier League and Europa League next season. This is a risky prospect for the Midlands club’s ambitions.
