'If he had any shame at all, he'd be hanging his head': John McGinn is slammed as an 'unmitigated disgrace' by Leeds fans after Aston Villa star's 'stupid tackle' leads to 16-year-old Archie Gray being taken off on a stretcher in tears

Aston Villa star John McGinn has been slammed after a strong challenge left 16-year-old Leeds midfielder Archie Gray in the Queensland Champions Cup pre-season tournament.

And although Villa went on to win the game 1-0 courtesy of a Danny Ings second half strike, the game was overshadowed by an injury to Gray, 16, after McGinn's challenge left him stretchered off in tears.

And Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to vent their rage at the Scottish midfielder, who many claim should be ashamed of such a challenge in a pre-season friendly tournament.
