Soccer: Aston Villa files a complaint following a costly refereeing decision

# Soccer: Premier League side Aston Villa have filed an official complaint, accusing referee Thomas Bramall of making a mistake that potentially cost them a place in the Champions League next season. With the match goalless, Bramall disallowed Morgan Rogers’ 73rd-minute goal, deeming that the midfielder fouled Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. United went on to win the match 2-0. Villa says that with such high stakes surrounding the match, a more experienced referee should have been appointed.
