Official reason ref awarded farcical pen to Club Brugge after Mings blunder – but Arsenal got away with same error

TYRONE MINGS gave away an unbelievable penalty in Aston Villa's Champions League clash with Club Brugge tonight.

The Villa centre-back was punished for a lapse in concentration that saw him reach down and pick up the ball in his own box.

Mings, 31, had the ball passed to him inside the area by goalkeeper Emi Martinez at a goal kick.

But the former England defender thought that Martinez was kicking him the ball for him to take the restart, prompting a VAR check for handball.

The referee had no choice but to award the penalty, which was dispatched by Hans Vanaken.

Unbelievably, Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes got away with the exact same error in last season's Champions League.

The Gunners' star leant down to pick up a pass from David Raya against Bayern Munich, but was not called up on his moment of madness despite pleas from the Bayern players.

The decision to punish Mings comes as the ball is already considered as in-play when Martinez plays him the pass - meaning the referee has to give a penalty for handball.

The referee for Arsenal's clash last season was lambasted by then-Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel for his decision not to strictly follow the rules.

The now-England manager, said: "I think the referee did not have the courage to give a deserved penalty today in a bit of a crazy and awkward situation.

"He admitted on the pitch that he saw the situation and that quarter-final is not enough for him to give a penalty, for a kid’s mistake. He admitted he saw the mistake the player made.

“It was a goal kick, the goalkeeper passed to a central defender and one touched the ball with the hand because he thought it was not in game but it was in game and the referee admitted it was in game and was handball. Very frustrating.”
