Aston Villa forward, Leon Bailey, has insisted that he was elbowed twice by Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez during both teams’ Premier League tie on Sunday.
Bailey also criticized the linesman for not taking any action against Martinez.
He disclosed this in a tweet via his Twitter handle after the game.
Recall that Man United lost 3-1 against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.
Bailey, Lucas Digne, and Jacob Ramsey all scored for Unai Emery’s side against Man United.
“Very disappointed in the referees today, I couldn’t breathe for a second after getting elbowed twice in my rib,” Bailey tweeted.
“The linesman went on to say I shouldn’t be saying anything because I was doing just the same thing to Martinez. Sometimes I don’t understand why we got VAR. SMH.”
