Absolute crazy 5 minutes.
Aston Villa had a man go down with an apparent knee injury and wanted the ball played out. Leeds proceeded to play the ball to the sideline and as everyone was coming to a stop thinking there was gonna be a stoppage, the player plays in one of the wingers who takes it and scores. Very unsportsmanlike. Brawl follows the goal. One of the Leeds players acts like he took an elbow to the face (total dive, 2nd video) which results in a red card for Villa as well. Leeds coach is yelling at his players to let Villa score once the match restarts which happens although one of the Leeds players tries to play defense.
Aston Villa v. Leeds Controversy
Acting for the red card
Match did finish 1-1.
