Arsenal struggled to interrupt by Aston Villa within the first half of Tuesday’s conflict with the Emirates, however rose to the problem after the break and ultimately received 4-1.
Nonetheless, a heated controversy arose as soon as throughout the match. A couple of minutes earlier than the hour mark, with the scoreline 2-0, Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino dedicated a clearly bookable offense on Villa’s Morgan Rodgers, for which he had already been given a yellow card.
Regardless of robust protests from the guests, referee Darren England refused to award a second yellow and ship off the Spaniard.
