Sky Sports pundit Dan Bardell had his say on the referee’s decision during Aston Villa’s 0-0 draw with Everton.
A win at Aston Villa this weekend gives them the chance to go top of the Premier League.
Things didn’t go as Unai Emery would have liked as his side were held to a 0-0 draw for the first time as a Premier League manager.
In the first half, Alex Moreno hit the ball from the edge of the penalty area after a short corner kick.
It was a great goal, but after about four minutes of VAR review, it was disallowed for offside.
Dominique Calvert Levine and James Garner were also potentially guilty, but both were caught by Amy Martinez.
Chances were lacking in the second half with John McGinn and John Duran being the closest players.
The 0-0 draw had Villa fans worried once the whistle blew.
There has been a lot of talk about referees and VAR. Villa TalesDan Bardell criticizes David Coote.
Dan Bardell is a Villa fan and is now a regular on Sky Sports News and always gives his opinion after a game.
The draw with Everton was no different. VAR was involved in Moreno’s goal, but Moussa decided not to review Diaby’s poor challenge in the penalty area.
On the other hand, Coote has decided not to let James Tarski go despite his poor booking situation.
As we discussed the issue on Twitter, it became clear that Bardell was unhappy with the referee that day.He said: “It was a tough, tough game.
Everton were very strong for us. I don’t know how Tarkowski stayed on the pitch or how we didn’t get a penalty but I hate David Coote.
I thought AVFC were good, they didn’t score and they were in good physical shape.
Shame”.View tweetsDecisions are made against you all season long and it’s just one day.
You could go to the villa on any other day and the results could be different.
Bardell clearly didn’t like Coote and his decision, but in most cases it could have gone either way.
The penalty kick is a 50-50 decision, but Tarkovci’s decision should go without a doubt.
It was a disappointing day but Emery has to accept it and move on. Fortunately, he has time off until the next game.
