Villa denied victory over Juve by VAR verdict


Villa denied victory over Juve by VAR verdict

Emiliano Martinez produced a wonder save and Aston Villa were controversially denied a last-gasp winner in a 0-0 Champions League draw with Juventus on Wednesday (Nov 27). Chances were at a premium in Birmingham but the home side had Argentina international Martinez to thank for keeping the scores level. Then, deep into stoppage time, Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery's team another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home. But the goal was ruled out after it was deemed that Diego Carlos had fouled Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.

Aston Villa were denied victory over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League as Morgan Rogers' stoppage-time goal was ruled out.

Rogers' smart finish was disallowed when the video assistant referee deemed Diego Carlos to have fouled goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio in the air.

The disappointment means Villa's winless run has reached seven matches.

Unai Emery's side ended a four-game losing run with a draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, but they have not tasted victory since a 2-0 win over Bologna five weeks ago.

Villa enjoyed the better of the chances against Juventus but could not find a goal against the team who boast the best defensive record in Serie A.

Villa, playing their first season in Europe's top-tier competition since the 1982-83 season, are ninth in the Champions League table, with Thiago Motta's Juventus down in 19th spot.
