Leon Bailey slams referee over Lisandro Martinez incident during Aston Villa vs Man United

Erik ten Hag's side were stunned by the home team as Villa scored twice inside the opening 11 minutes, thanks to goals from Bailey and Lucas Digne. Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery would have been delighted with his new club's start, as they put United under pressure from the outset.
