Pundits agree on Aston Villa VAR decision vs Juventus as Ollie Watkins reaction speaks volumes
Alan Hutton, Peter Crouch and Eniola Aluko all agreed that it was a harsh decision to disallow Aston Villa's goal against Juventus following the draw in the Champions League.
Unai Emery's side thought they had returned to winning ways at the death when Morgan Rogers put the ball in the empty net after Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio dropped it under pressure from Diego Carlos. Following a VAR review, the goal was disallowed with Carlos adjudged to have disrupted the goalkeeper.
The stalemate means Villa remain winless in their last seven games in all competitions. They sit ninth in the Champions League table on 10 points - five from leaders Liverpool.

Speaking on TNT Sports after the game, Aluko said of the decision to rule out the goal: "I think [Diogo] Carlos has absolutely every right to go for it, I actually think it's a goalkeeper error. He's not caught it well, Carlos, I think has every right. He leans with his shoulder slightly but he's got every right to go for the ball, it's a goalkeeper mistake. It's harsh."
Meanwhile, Hutton added: "He goes up here as you see, I'm stretching for the ball, you know there's going to be a challenge, you know there's going to be. He plays it well, he goes down and he's rolling about. I think it's just a normal challenge, you see it all the time."
Crouch, who agreed, concluded: "The last moment of the game, it's a huge moment and I think it's so soft, let's be honest."
Ollie Watkins also shared his views on the matter, claiming it was a 'soft' challenge. The Villa striker said: "I think it's soft, you know. Maybe in the Premier League that's a goal but in Europe, in the competition, goalkeepers are protected a lot so it's one of them. I thought we scored but to be fair, it had a 0-0 game written all over it so I think we would have been lucky if we took that."
"Obviously I've got to be careful about what I say about the referees but like I said, the refereeing is a bit different during this competition, they don't let things go as much. We're used to that now, it's one of those things, you know, sometimes, decisions go with you and sometimes decisions go against you but it's out of our control really."
