Aston Villa were controversially denied an injury-time winner in their UEFA Champions League league phase clash with Juventus at Villa Park. Unai Emery's men looked destined for another draw after failing to break down the Italian giants. However, in the dying seconds of injury-time, Youri Tielemans' free-kick found its way to Morgan Rodgers, who did the rest from close distance. However, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio stayed down inside the penalty box after seeming to collide with Diego Carlos in the air as the free-kick was floated in.

Unfortunately for Villa, the goal wasn't given and the visitors were awarded a free-kick in a hugely controversial decision. Replays show Carlos and Di Gregorio colliding inside the box with the contact enough to force the ball out of the goalkeeper's hands, in the opinion of the officials. After the game, Ollie Watkins admitted Villa would have been lucky to win the game if it had been given. "I think it's soft," he said. "Maybe in the Premier League that's a goal but I feel like in Europe, the goalkeepers are protected by the referees. It's one of them. "I thought we had scored but to be fair, it had a 0-0 game written all over. We would have been lucky if we had won it then."
Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has revealed that a stern warning from John Terry about his social circle could have extended his career, had he paid any attention to it. The Australian, who was at Chelsea with the then 21 year old Terry, recounted how the future west London club legend warned him in "no uncertain terms" about the company he kept. Bosnich admitted to feeling "bullet proof" at the time and ignored the advice, a decision he later regretted. "I should have listened to his advice back then," Bosnich reflected in a 2015 interview with the Guardian. "If I had, I would never had got into the troubles that I did. The whole mess ended up curtailing my career."

However, his stint at Old Trafford saw him make only 23 appearances before he joined Chelsea in 2001. Struggles with injuries and breaking into the first team at Stamford Bridge were compounded when he received a nine-month football ban for cocaine use. This led to his sacking by Chelsea and a battle with addiction, resulting in a five-year hiatus from the sport before he hung up his gloves in 2009, reports Football London . Terry's former Chelsea team-mate Bosnich admitted: "John's actions showed amazing foresight and leadership at such a young age, and is the reason so many managers such as Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Fabio Capello and others, have always made him captain. "The bottom line is that as a person, he will always be the smiling kid I remember at a young age who spoke up when no-one else did – and was right."
