Aston Villa winger Bailey slams ref after Lisandro attention

Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey hit out at match officials after victory over Manchester United.

Bailey was left upset with the attention of United defender Lisandro Martinez during the 3-1 win.

He said on social media: "I was very disappointed with the officials today, I couldn't catch my breath for a second after being elbowed in the ribs twice.

"The linesman kept saying I shouldn't say anything because I did the same thing to Martinez. Sometimes I don't understand why we got VAR."

Bailey opened the scoring on Sunday.
