"Aston Villa” suffered their first defeat of this season's UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

The English club lost 0:1 to the players of "Club Brugge” away.

The only goal of the match came in the 52nd minute when a penalty was awarded against "Aston Villa” following an inexplicable mistake by Tyrone Mings.

The Birmingham team's defender took the ball in his penalty area with his hands, thinking it was no longer in play, but the guest goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez had already reintroduced it into the game. The match referee did not pardon such a mistake and awarded a penalty.

After the match, "Aston Villa” coach Unai Emery stated that he had never seen such a player’s mistake in his entire career.

"Mings' mistake is incomprehensible. It is the biggest mistake I have ever seen in my career. I have only experienced such a situation once in my career – today,” said U. Emery.
