Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez reacts to Paul Pogba’s penalty incident

Emiliano Martinez took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction to Paul Pogba’s penalty incident after Aston Villa lost 2-1 against Manchester United on Friday night.

Anthony Martial gave United the lead before half-time with a stooping header. In the second half, Bertrand Traore restored parity with a calm finish.

However, in the 61st minute, Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot to punish Douglas Luiz’s clip on Paul Pogba.

It was a controversial decision no doubt, and several replays even suggest that there was no contract from Luiz at all. However, after a thorough check from VAR, United were awarded the penalty.
