Aston Villa Left Frustrated as Juventus Hold Them to 0-0 Draw

Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!

Aston Villa were held to a 0-0 draw by Juventus in the Champions League, with a late stoppage-time goal from Morgan Rogers disallowed for a foul on Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.

Villa thought they had snatched a dramatic win when Rogers scored at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos had fouled Di Gregorio, much to Villa’s disappointment.

The result leaves Villa unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and still in the race to qualify for the knockout stages.

Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez played a vital role in keeping the score level, producing a stunning save to deny Francisco Conceicao.

Villa’s closest efforts to score came in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick clipped the crossbar, and Ollie Watkins forced a save from Di Gregorio.

A second-half block by Juventus defender Federico Gatti denied Matty Cash’s shot, and at the other end, a goal-line clearance from Manuel Locatelli denied John McGinn.

Despite their late drama, Villa couldn’t break the deadlock, and the 0-0 draw leaves them outside the top eight on goal difference, with Juventus struggling in 19th place.
