ASTON VILLA fans were left fuming over Rasmus Hojlund’s goal with many claiming it should have been disallowed.
The striker netted for the fifth consecutive match to help United win 2-1, with Scott McTominay notching the winner.
But some Villa fans have suggested Hojlund’s goal should not have stood – because Casemiro was offside in the build-up.
The United midfielder was stood in an offside position when Luke Shaw crossed his free-kick into the box.
Casemiro jumped and competed for the ball but did not touch it – in fact he was no way near it.
A Villa defender headed the ball behind for a corner which ended up with Hojlund firing in from Harry Maguire’s knock down.

But since the goal came from a new phase of play, VAR was unable to look at the free-kick and whether Casemiro had interfered with the Villa defender.
That enraged some Villa supporters as they claimed they were hard done by.
One fan reacted saying: “Casemiro is offside for the play leading to the corner. United score from the corner.
“No VAR check. What’s the point of having it?”

Another added: “To really put the icing on the cake, Casemiro was offside from the free-kick which led to the corner 🤦🏻♂️ I hate football on days like today.
“Really didn’t do a fat lot wrong and end up on the defeated side. And it’s always against them too. Irritating
A third wrote: “There we go Casemiro offside from freekick – lino and ref miss that and give a corner. They score from it, useless.🙄”
And another commented: “That United goal was crazy. Softest free-kick of the season which then led to Casemiro being offside when they forced a corner in which they scored.
“Referees so scared to make the right decisions, getting too complacent with VAR.”
