An improbable mistake. We played the 51e minute between Bruges and Aston Villa, Wednesday November 6, on the occasion of the 4e day of the Champions League, when the defender of the English club Tyrone Mings committed one of the biggest mistakes of the season. In a flawless performance since the start of their European campaign (9 points), Unai Emery's players conceded a penalty, converted by Hans Vanaken (52').
Martinez concedes his first goal in C1
The reason is lunar: Mings took the ball with his hand from a six-meter shot made by his goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, while a Bruges player was coming to press in the area. The referee did not hesitate and designated the penalty spot, and Aston Villa therefore conceded their first goal in C1 this season, in an unusual manner.
