Bournemouth could take legal action over the failure to award a key goal against their relegation rivals Aston Villa.
The Cherries have been relegated to the Championship after Villa finished the 2019-20 season one point ahead of them. Villa secured a point in their first game of the restart at home to Sheffield United on 17 June. The Blades had a goal ruled out despite Villa goalkeeper Orjan Nyland catching a free-kick and stepping back over the line, carrying the ball with him. Goal-line technology providers Hawk-Eye issued an apology after the match, saying all seven cameras focused on the goal area had been “occluded” and that it was the first time in over 9,000 matches that its cameras had been obstructed to such an extent that the technology could not detect that a goal had been scored |

Aston Villa can confirm the club has written to the PGMOL to raise concerns over the selection process of match officials following today’s game with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
With such high stakes surrounding today’s fixture, the club believe a more experienced referee should have been appointed. Of the 10 referees to officiate across the Premier League today, Mr. Bramall was the 2nd least experienced. The decision to disallow Morgan Rogers' goal, which would have given the club a 1-0 lead with 17 minutes remaining in the match, was a major contributing factor to the club not qualifying for the Champions League. As per the standards that have been established over the course of the season, a decision to whistle early is clearly inconsistent with current refereeing guidelines. VAR exists to ensure that these types of situations receive the scrutiny they deserve. Unfortunately, the technology was not allowed to serve its purpose. Ultimately, we acknowledge that the outcome for us will not change, but we believe that it is important to address the selection methodology to ensure that high stakes matches are treated as such with regards to officiating and to ensure that the implemented VAR technology is allowed to be effective. |

Villa were lucky to still be on level terms when the controversy occurred. I'd advise Emery to stop bellyaching and start planning for the 25/26 Europa League campaign.
