Unai Emery refused to blame the video assistant referee (VAR) decision to rule out John McGinn’s goal for Aston Villa against Bournemouth. Villa looked to be on track for their sixth Premier League win of the season after Ross Barkley put the home side 1-0 up at Villa Park after 76 minutes.

Unai Emery’s press conference after Aston Villa vs Bournemouth delivered a potentially unpopular verdict. Emery believes referee Chris Kavanagh put on an excellent performance throughout Villa’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the draw: "We played a fantastic match. Against this team, it was very difficult. We imposed our ideas, we created chances to scored in the first-half, we had one goal which was ruled out because the ball was out.
