He appeared to drop the ball at the feet of Morgan Rogers, who then rolled it home into an empty net.

But the goal did not stand as the referee had blown for a foul on Bayindir.

And because the official blew his whistle before the ball had gone into the goal, VAR could not intervene.

Just minutes later, Amad Diallo scored to make it 1-0.

It means Villa could now miss out on Champions League qualification as they are not bettering Newcastle’s result, who are also losing to Everton by a goal.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
