Aston Villa were victims of football's rules in the lead up to Bernardo Silva's goal for Manchester City on Wednesday, says former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher.
Villa were beaten 2-0 in the league match at City, with Silva opening the scoring after 79 minutes.
The visitors complained that the first goal should not have stood, however, as City midfielder Rodri came from an offside position to steal the ball from centre-back Tyrone Mings after a header from Silva.
