Premier League explain why Aston Villa were awarded controversial penalty against Man City - after Pep Guardiola was left FUMING by controversial call

The Premier League have explained the reasoning behind a key decision that left Pep Guardiola fuming during Manchester City's clash with Aston Villa.

City, in their hunt for a top-five finish and qualification for the Champions League, got off to the perfect start against their opponents, going 1-0 up early on through Bernardo Silva.

Things went south pretty quickly, though, with Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford levelling things up from the penalty spot after a VAR intervention that led to the penalty being awarded.
