Leeds United waded into the controversy at Villa Park on Wednesday night.
In the first game in the Premier League’s long awaited restart, Sheffield United saw a goal ruled out to the bemusement of everyone watching.
Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland appeared to drag the whole of the ball across his own goal line when attempting to catch an Oliver Norwood free-kick.
And Leeds couldn’t help themselves when they saw the goal that should have been by making a reference to their own game against Villa last year.
In extraordinary scenes at Elland Road, Leeds scored a controversial goal in the Championship clash before letting the visitors equalise, winning praise for their fair play.
When Jonathan Kodjia went down injured for Villa, the away team stopped in their tracks as Tyler Roberts slowed down as if to kick the ball out – only to run through and set up Mateusz Klich to curl the ball beyond Jed Steer.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa then ordered his team to allow Villa to score, which eventually won them the 2019 FIFA Fair Play Award at the annual award ceremony.
Watching and admiring the Championship side, talkSPORT Drive presenter Adrian Durham labelled Villa hypocrites.
“You’ve got to love the people running @LUFC Twitter account,” he wrote.
“And they’re right as well. Hypocrisy from Villa.”
