Unai Emery refused to blame the video assistant referee (VAR) decision to rule out John McGinn’s goal for Aston Villa against Bournemouth. Villa looked to be on track for their sixth Premier League win of the season after Ross Barkley put the home side 1-0 up at Villa Park after 76 minutes.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says he accepts the decision made by VAR to rule out John McGinn's strike, after the ball was adjudged to have narrowly rolled out of play in the build-up.

Aston Villa squandered the chance to secure their third win in a week after Bournemouth scored a 96th minute equaliser to ensure their Premier League game finished 1-1 on Saturday afternoon. Unai Emery's side dominated the first half and created a couple of chances to take the lead - as Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana were denied by an in-form Mark Travers.
