Aston Villa fans have expressed frustration over Casemiro allegedly being offside in the build-up to Manchester United's first goal in their crucial 2-1 win in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Red Devils took the lead at Villa Park in the 17th minute, with Rasmus Hojlund turning in Harry Maguire's header from a corner.
Man United's corner had followed a free kick from Luke Shaw, which was turned behind by an Aston Villa defender under pressure from Casemiro.
Replays have shown that the Brazilian midfielder had been in an offside position when the free kick was taken and had competed for the ball.
By competing for the ball Casemiro should have been adjudged to have been offside.
The corner leading to Man United's opener was given instead, with VAR unable to intervene due to the set piece marking a new phase of play.
Aston Villa supporters reacted with frustration to the Casemiro not being flagged offside from the free kick, with Man United taking the lead in a key match in the race for Champions League football.
'To really put the icing on the cake, Casemiro was offside from the free-kick which led to the corner,' one Villa fan said.
'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.
Another Villa fan said 'Poor set-piece defending from us, but it wasn't a foul on Rashford leading up to the corner.
'Casemiro was offside and went for the ball despite not touching it; could be argued as taking part in that phase of play.'
'That Man U 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,' claimed a third.
'Referees so scared to make the right decisions, getting too complacent with VAR.'
Aston Villa responded impressively to falling behind with Douglas Luiz drawing the hosts level in the second half.
Villa were undone in the closing minutes as substitute Scott McTominay headed Man United back in front in the 87th minute to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory.
The result could prove crucial in the race for Champions League football, with Man United closing the gap to fifth place Aston Villa to five points.
Defeat also saw Unai Emery's side slip outside of the top four over the weekend, with Tottenham now a point ahead after their last 2-1 home against Brighton.

Premier league referees and VAR officials can do all their magic and abracadabra in Man.U matches to qualify for Champion league, and after they get there, then they will find out the bitter truth, that they are not good enough for that level of football. There is no premier league Refs and VAR team to help them win matches in UCL. What a shame!

It's no use crying over spilt milk; what is done cannot be undone...accept and admit defeat...build on it....tell your players to respect others in celebrating goals...be humble and you'll reap rewards.

by competing with the ball did he win the ball? if no then he's not offside. did he distruct the keeper in anyway? if no then he's not offside either. the var only check clear and obvious errors leading to goals and also red card decisions. so did casemiro offside led to goal? no. it led to a corner. so AF if can call the VAR to check an offside leading to corner, is up to you
wrong call are part of the game , but the point is it is not worth checking the VAR because it directly lead to goal .

English referees and the VAR are disgrace to football, the mistakes are too much, maybe it's deliberate to favour some teams
probably when the referee do something in favor of your team you will change your mind .

stop bringing up past stuff man cmon, it happened and it happened that's it.
@blackBeed that is not the point , the pint is u can't have that kind if arguments, because if u start doing that then everything have to be checked by VAR

The most favoured team in England is Aston Villa when it comes to Var n refereeing.They should taste it and see how it feels to be cheated. Idiots fans, keep complaining.

Bad losers. Game finished 24 hrs then go scrutinize game and try to find a fault. If it is so apparent, the commentator and studio guests would have already raised that doubt. In a corner, everyone moves for the ball. Difference is if you are close enough to be considered affecting play.

no, that's not how it work. if he had an effect on the ball, the player contesting for the ball or the player on the ball; basically is he affected the entire play then it's deemed as offside. corroding to those replays, our team benefited from the wrong call and I am happy about that. we move on and don't compare to historical instances
but the offside play didn't directly lead to the goal in the same phase of play, so I guess you're correct there.
