“Got it wrong” – Unai Emery criticised for costly decision in Aston Villa’s defeat to PSG

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has been criticised for his slightly bizarre decision to sub Marcus Rashford off in last night’s game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Villa won 3-2 against PSG on the night, but were knocked out 5-4 on aggregate by the Ligue 1 champions.

Still, it proved to be a memorable Champions League campaign for Villa as they showed their credentials on the biggest stage.

Things could even perhaps have gone a bit better if Emery hadn’t made the wrong call by taking Rashford off in the second half, according to former Villa man Stephen Warnock.
