VAR controversy 

We’re back underway in the five earlier kick-offs.

At the Amex, Aston Villa feel they’ve been hard-done-by.

And it’s led to some more VAR controversy, with Jacob Ramsey seemingly being brought down in the box by Jack Hinshelwood.

Ramsey skipped down the left and beat his man before being tripped, however, VAR did not overturn the referee’s decision for no penalty.

A Premier League statement read: “The referee’s call of no penalty to Aston Villa following a challenge by Hinshelwood on Ramsey was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the contact deemed not to reach the threshold for a foul.”

ASTON VILLA LEAD NOW!

Marcus Rashford scores his third goal in two games and his first for Villa in the Premier League!

His turnaround in form since leaving Man United continues.

It comes from a long ball by Morgan Rogers, sending Rashford through on goal a long way out.

The loanee then finishes past Bary Verbburggen and wheels away to celebrate with the away end.
