Many Aston Villa supporters will likely be left furious having seen an image of Douglas Luiz being kicked in the face.
Over the weekend, the Villans made the trip down to London as they met West Ham United in the Premier League. David Moyes’ men eventually ran out 2-1 winners, thanks to goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Pablo Fornals – though Jacob Ramsey scored a late consolation.

However, the match did not pass without incident. Indeed, at the end of the first half, Manuel Lanzini raised a high boot as he attempted to kick the ball, but instead planted his foot into Luiz’s face.
At the time, referee Jarred Gillett said it was just a yellow, and VAR chose not to overturn his call, despite protests from the Villa players.
