'Never even heard of that rule': Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings SLAMS offside rule as 'nonsense' after Man City's opener was given despite Rodri returning from an offside position... but admits he should have cleared his lines

Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has become the latest to be left baffled by the decision to allow Manchester City's opening goal in their 2-0 win over Villa to stand.

The losing side were left furious after City's Rodri was not ruled offside when he stole the ball off Mings after clearly standing beyond Villa's backline. The midfielder nipped in and set up Bernando Silva's strike in the 79th minute.

Centre half Mings took to Twitter after the match to voice his views on the controversial goal, branding the rule as 'nonsense' although he did admit he should have just cleared his lines.
