Gary Lineker addresses Aston Villa incidents as pundits agree they 'got away with it'
Aston Villa “got away” with not one, but two perfectly good penalty appeals from Bournemouth – that’s according to Match of the Day experts Alan Shearer and Theo Walcott.
Unai Emery’s men gave up a goal lead and what looked to be heading for the full three points when they allowed Evanilson to head home in the 96th minute to draw the match 1-1 at Villa Park. But after analysing the game’s finer details, including two penalty shouts from the visitors, Shearer and co say the Cherries were on the end of “harsh” decisions on both occasions.
The first was when Villa defender Matty Cash slid in to tackle Antoine Semenyo in the box, resulting in the Bournemouth forward being booked for diving.

Show host Gary Lineker asked: “There were a couple of penalty shouts from Bournemouth, did they have a good call, any complaints?”
Shearer replied: “Umm, yeah, I think so. I don’t see it as a dive at all (from Semenyo), I mean, Cash doesn’t touch the ball. It’s Semenyo who touches the ball, takes it away from him (Cash) so I think that’s not only harsh getting the yellow card for diving, but also harsh actually not getting the penalty.”
Fellow pundit on the couch, Theo Walcott added: “You can see clearly that he (Cash) doesn’t touch the ball, but I look at all the reactions of the players and Cash is worried.”
Footage was then shown of the second appeal by Bournemouth, which was for a handball by Leon Bailey whose arm clearly touches the ball from a deep cross from the right.
“Then this one,” said Walcott, “Bailey, with the distance the ball has travelled, his arm is in a so-called natural position but, for me, it’s not above his shoulder and I think he’s got away with it. Very lucky there. He looks a bit of a guilty partner when he’s stumbling over after it.”
