Bryan Gil has liked a tweet criticising the referee for not giving a red card to the Aston Villa player who blatantly elbowed him inside the penalty area.
Diego Carlos elbowed the Spurs midfielder in the side of the head within four minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Despite the incident occurring while VAR was operational, Carlos escaped punishment, avoiding both a sending off and a penalty.
After the game, fans noticed that the Spurs player had liked a tweet by a Spurs fan account that shared the video of the incident along with the caption: “This isn’t a penalty apparently?”

Gil was clearly not happy with the decision and while he may not have been able to say anything himself, he has certainly expressed his frustration through his social media activity.
Tottenham took the lead against Villa through a brilliant strike from Giovani Lo Celso. And could have scored at least 3 more goals in the game.
However, Aston Villa came back in the second half, Torres and Watkins scoring the goals to win it for the away side.
This was their third consecutive defeat as their season continues to derail.
Villa came to kick us off the pitch. The dirtiest team we have played and the ref plus VAR gave us nothing. It’s time VAR was scrapped. Any dubious calls, the ref goes to the monitor supposed by fourth official. VAR is either corrupt or incompetent. Your choice.
He had a straight arm by his side and Gil ran into it. Never a penalty, and wouldn’t have expected one if it were at the other end either.
Var is killing the game soccer is not played in the true spirit of sport has become a joke we fans use to talk about soccer and about our teams specially on a Monday at our work places now we talk about var not enjoying soccer anymore
