An odd penalty condemned Aston Villa to a 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge in the Champions League.

Villa put in a poor performance in the Champions League on Wednesday night as they were unable to continue their 100% in the competition.

While the Villa players were slammed for their performance against Club Brugge, one incident took the limelight.

In the second half, Tyrone Mings picked up the ball after a goal kick which resulted in a penalty being awarded for handball.

This was ultimately the deciding factor of the game with Villa unable to find an equaliser after the spot-kick was converted.

However, his performance was one to forget. On top of the penalty, Mings was perhaps lucky to not be given his marching orders as he was already on a yellow card at the time of the incident.

At full-time, Unai Emery gave his verdict on the incident which condemned Villa to a third successive defeat in all competitions.

The Villa manager simply said: "It's very very strange this mistake. But it's football."

The centre-back is clearly still getting used to competitive football after spending such a long time out with an ACL injury.

While his mistake was no doubt stupid, plenty of other Villa players did not step up to ensure they came away with a result in Belgium.

Villa fans will need to stay patient with the centre-back over the proceeding weeks to ensure he is nursed back to his best.
