The incident will divert attention from what was a below-par performance by Emery's men, who have now lost their last three games in all competitions.

Unai Emery has said Tyrone Mings' calamitous gaffe which condemned Aston Villa to Champions League defeat at Club Brugge was the biggest mistake he has witnessed in his managerial career.

The centre-back inexplicably picked up a short goal-kick by Emiliano Martinez without knowing referee Tobias Stieler had restarted the game.
