Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard bemoaned a “harsh” VAR penalty decision after his side surrendered the lead to suffer a 3-1 Premier League loss at Crystal Palace.

Referee Andy Madley pointed to the spot at Selhurst Park after reviewing footage of Marc Guehi’s goal-bound header brushing the outstretched arm of Lucas Digne.
