UNAI EMERY moaned about VAR - but he could have no complaints about one of the strikes of the season that floored Villa.
The Spanish manager used his programme notes to outline his frustration with the system, calling for it to be used MORE.
Emery spoke out after striker Jhon Duran was dismissed at St James' Park without use of a replay by officials. It came to his aid last night although it couldn't help Villa to three points.
And that was because Brighton showcased the very best of their talent to grab a late point.
Fabian Hurzeler's side were searching desperately for a route back into the game as they trailed 2-1 in the 81st minute.
And they went back to front in stunning style with a move that spanned the length of the pitch before full-back Tariq Lamptey thumped home a delicious finish.
