Aston Villa ‘robbed’ as VAR let Sheffield United off by disallowing goal after error
In Friday night’s Premier League match between Aston Villa and Sheffield United, Leon Bailey’s goal in the second half was disallowed by yet another contentious VAR ruling.
Jacob Ramsey of Aston Villa was deemed to have held the arm of golakeeper Wes Foderingham
After VAR disqualified their opening goal against Sheffield United, Aston Villa supporters were incensed.
In the 59th minute, Leon Bailey side-footed home a squared ball from Ollie Watkins at the back post, giving the Villans hope that they had broken the deadlock. However, referee Anthony Taylor disallowed the goal after advising him to consult the VAR monitor.
Replays revealed that Jacob Ramsey had fouled goalkeeper Wes Foderingham by grabbing his arm, making it evident that he had been pulled back during the build-up to a corner.
However, the Blades were dispossessed even after Foderingham flapped at the ball, giving Watkins’ cross the opportunity to score. And Villa supporters were incensed about how long it took for play to resume after the incident because they felt it shouldn’t have been delayed that much.
“Aston Villa have been robbed, I can’t believe what I’m seeing,” exclaimed one X user, while another raged, writing, “Absolutely awful decision.”
A third said on Twitter: “VAR is terrible! Had to get rid of it,” a fourth person said. “What a shame of a choice!”
Referee Anthony Taylor ruled out the goal after visiting the monitor
Aston Villa were left fuming with the decision
“Different phase of play no?” countered a fifth. Another was furious: “I’m 100% sure the Premier League do not want Aston Villa to be top of the league.”
The fact that multiple decisions had not gone in the Villa faithful’s favor only made them feel more resentful. After Watkins was taken down by Vinicius Souza nine minutes in, they appeared to have a pretty good case for a penalty, but Taylor was allowed to continue playing by VAR.
RULED OUT! ❌

George Baldock seemed to handball a cross intended for Jacob Ramsey during the second half. However, a review determined that it went beyond the “T-shirt line.”
Cameron Archer’s goal for the opposition in the 87th minute caused tensions at Villa Park to flare up. However, Nicolo Zaniolo was there to net a crucial equalizer in the final seconds to preserve Villa’s title hopes.
They move into second place, one spot above Liverpool, thanks to the draw, but Arsenal still has a slim lead going into their delicious trip to Anfield on Saturday night, which will decide who will be at the top of the tree on Christmas Day.

(4-2-3-1) Ugarte first Premier League start, Confirmed Manchester United line up vs Crystal Palace – The Most strongest lineups ever
In the Premier League on Saturday night, Manchester United plays Crystal Palace.
United is confident going into the match after winning 3-0 against Southampton the previous weekend and a dominant 7-0 over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount’s return to full training at Carrington earlier in the week has given Erik ten Hag’s team momentum.
In the Carabao Cup, Crystal Palace also advanced to the next round, but their start to the Premier League has been disappointing as they have only managed two points from four games.

BREAKING: THEEE Arsenal’s major starters including the only player who has been impressive this season are not in contention to face Man City today tomorrow as leaked information surface online
On Sunday, Arsenal will go to the northwest to play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a match that will determine who finishes top of the Premier League league. William Saliba has cautioned the Gooners not to get ahead of themselves; winning the league will need more than just defeating City, even though winning that game increases the Gunners’ chances of winning the league.
In their road match versus City during the Premier League run-in last year, Arsenal and the defending champions drew 0-0. Following that tie with City, Arsenal’s detractors asserted that they lost the title match because they chose to play for a draw rather than a win, which would have given them three points and won the league by a single point.
The Gunners haven’t defeated City at the Etihad Stadium in nine years, but on Sunday they have the opportunity to disprove the doubters.
For this weekend’s heavyweight encounter, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should have a stronger team despite the absences of Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino. Hopefully, Kevin De Bruyne’s injury will prevent him from playing for the Citizens.
Arsenal’s defensive star Saliba has expressed the team’s resolve to win on Sunday, but even a victory over City will not guarantee them the title of league winners. Saliba says that beating City on Sunday is undoubtedly in the cards, but he also says that the club needs to work hard to play consistently after that.

(4-3-3): Mikel Arteta excludes FOUR first team players from the squad to face Man City tomorrow to create room for new signings and academy players
On Sunday, Arsenal will play Manchester City, their likely title challengers, at the Etihad Stadium, capping up maybe the most difficult week of the team’s season.
Even though this big match takes place just a month into the new campaign, it is impossible to overstate how important an away victory in Manchester would be. Although Arsenal has not lost to the Cityzens in their last three meetings, they have not triumphed at the Etihad since Pep Guardiola became manager.
Since Brentford in November 2022, no visiting club has actually taken all three points at City’s stronghold. Without a doubt, it’s a difficult location to visit.
The visitors are without skipper Martin Odegaard and still carrying a very long list of injuries. Here is how we think Arteta’s Arsenal starting lineup will appear on Sunday in an attempt to avoid losing. Arteta may go all Tony Pulis on Sunday.
Arsenal vs. Man City lineup prediction
Potential starting lineup for Arsenal:
Raya; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Trossard; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber
