It's Mother's day here today, so spent the afternoon with the wife's Mum who is a remarkable 102.
So could someone be kind and give me a lightening summary.
Was the sending off correct, the disallowed goal, and the penalty.
Did we play well.
Cheers if you can do it 👍
Missed everything about the game

Villa were chite from start to finish and deserved nothing fom the game. They actually made United look half decent..at Od Trafford. Martinez should have been sent off too for violent conduct. Not only did he body check Hojlund he head butted him too. Emery should have been given a Red also for sarcastically applauding the ref for awarding a penalty after his player stamped on Amads ankle.

I mean he should have been sent off for the violent conduct.... and not just for denying the goalscoring opportunity

Just checked on BBC iPlayer. They did say that, almost.
The reporter said that 'Villa were the unlucky losers at Manchester United'. But in the context that they were pipped for the CL spot by Chelsea, who won at Forest.

Thanks to you both for that. Excellent summaries. For some reason it's difficult to find the equivalent anywhere else.

Not in France it isn’t. They lopped the head off their last queen.
They really don’t get the respect they deserve sometimes, the French.

I read that by the letter of the law the ref was right to give a foul to our keeper for Villa’s disallowed goal. Supposedly the keeper doesn’t have to have his hands on the ball, just ‘in control’ of it and to have touched it at some point which you could argue he was. It’s a stupid rule but that’s the rules.
