Africa-Press – Eritrea. Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2-0 to finish their dismal season and deny the visitors a Champions League qualifying berth on the last day of the Premier League.
In a match against a team aiming for a top five finish, United unexpectedly controlled the first half. Emiliano Martinez, the custodian for Villa, was sent off shortly before halftime, greatly helping the home team’s cause.
Referee Thomas Bramall decided that Morgan Rogers had fouled United custodian Altay Bayindir before tapping home a vital goal for Villa eighteen minutes from time, defying the flow of play.
Infuriated Amad Diallo put the home team ahead right away down the other end, and Christian Eriksen’s penalty made sure United finished in 15th place, forcing sixth-place Villa to settle for a spot in the Europa League the following season.
This made Villa’s mood worse.
