Kavanagh with the big decisions correct.
Clear simulation and second yellow. We should not be condoning this behaviour. Even the commentators agreed.
Good performance overall.
And your views on the Villa penalty that was not given?
As a villa fan, i would say Kavanagh was inconsistent with his foul detection.
The Penalty given in my mind was more of a penalty than that awarded at Old Trafford earlier in the season by Oliver or then penalty given by Moss last season when the man utd player kicked the villa defender.
That said, if sterling didnt get a penalty last night, then it raises the question if this was a penalty.
I will say Luiz fouled Pogba today.
The handball by Greenwood would have been harsh but i think probably was a penalty.
Possibly Kavanagh told var he had seen the incident and thought the hand was in a normal positon due to greenwoods movement or the ball travelled too short a distance, hence var thought it wasnt an obvious error.
The incident late on between Watkins and Henderson def was not a penalty, however when a goalkeeper comes
Rushing out like that, i defy anyone not to go to ground to avoid getting injured.
If that is to be deemed a dive, we would be getting a lot more yellow cards for simulation than we do.
Personally think Kavanagh got that one wrong. I guess that the only way he could have changed his mind about
Issuing the second yellow was if var had sent Kavanagh to the screen thinking it was a penalty, but then two wrongs dont make a right.
Villa were beaten fairly and squarely today by a better team especially in the second half.
Bet Man utd wish they could still play cup semi finals at their second favourite ground.
