HEADS IT IS... Replacement keeper Robin Olsen fails to keep out a second-half header from Amad Diallo

Unai Emery and his team were left fuming after being on the wrong end of a controversial refereeing decision.
Just before Amad Diallo made it 1-0 to Manchester United, Villa thought they had opened the scoring.
Morgan Rogers dispossessed Altay Bayindir and tapped the ball into an unguarded net.
But the whistle of referee Thomas Bramall — blown because he felt the goalkeeper had two hands on the ball even though TV replays suggested he had not — killed any celebrations.
