Aston Villa chief Damian Vidagany has claimed Manchester United's last-gasp equaliser should have been ruled out because of Senne Lammens. United snatched a point at the death in their 4-4 draw with Villa on Sunday.
Patrick Dorgu headed home from a corner, for which Lammens had come up. The Belgian keeper directed his attention to his opposite number, Zion Suzuki, who flapped and missed the ball before it reached Dorgu.
Damian Vidagany, Villa's director of football operations, believes Lammens broke the Premier League's rules with his contact on Suzuki. He said: “We’ve been told by referees during the summer that this season, pushing or unbalancing the goalkeeper on purpose inside the six-yard box was not going to be allowed anymore.
“Lammens didn’t even look at the ball. He went straight to make contact with his hip on Zion. We played a good match and we must do better than the last six minutes. We will improve. But the rules are the rules and must be respected. That is a fact.”
That view wasn't shared by United legend Roy Keane, who said on Sky Sports post-match: "I don't think Suzuki gives himself the best chance of getting it, he's underneath it, just take a step back and attack it.
"There are bodies in the way, but there's lots going on, football is a contact sport. I have no problem with it."
