Ian Wright slams 'total refereeing MESS UP' that led to Aston Villa equaliser in comeback win over West Ham

Ian Wright has slammed the awarding of an Aston Villa corner that led to the hosts scoring the first goal in Friday's comeback FA Cup win over West Ham.

The all-Premier League affair ended with Wright's former club being knocked out of the historic competition as Unai Emery's Villa came from behind to complete a dramatic turnaround victory.

Graham Potter's opening match in charge of the Hammers ended in FA Cup elimination after Lucas Paqueta had initially given the visitors a surprise lead in the Midlands.
