Unai Emery angry VAR not used to check penalty as Aston Villa held
Unai Emery criticized referee Andy Madley and VAR for not reviewing a late penalty claim involving Youri Tielemans during Aston Villa's 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park.
- At full-time, Unai Emery confronted referee Andy Madley after Aston Villa were held to a zero-zero draw at Selhurst Park, angry that VAR officials failed to review a late penalty claim.
- During a late corner, Youri Tielemans appeared held by Brennan Johnson for 'one, two, three seconds,' and Unai Emery said VAR should have reviewed the incident after Palace's earlier claim.
- Villa created the clearest chances, with Ollie Watkins hitting the post and Tyrick Mitchell involved in two hand-ball incidents, while Oliver Glasner said the draw felt fair given Palace's resilience.
- The draw left Aston Villa unable to capitalise on Manchester City's result, keeping them third with Arsenal's lead cut by one point, while Emiliano Martinez's calf injury forced Marco Bizot to play the second half.
- Emery's rare approach to the referees led to an aggressive, televised confrontation with Andy Madley over VAR's non-intervention, continuing his pattern of criticising match referees and officials.
