ASTON VILLA star John McGinn appeared to take a dig at Chelsea after set-piece coach Austin MacPhee’s cheeky booking.
McGinn, 31, helped Villa come back from behind and beat the Blues 2-1 on Saturday at Stamford Bridge thanks to an Ollie Watkins brace that cancelled out Joao Pedro’s opener.
The Villans, though, did experience some stressful last few minutes during stoppage time as the West Londoners pushed for a late equaliser.
That is when Villa manager Unai Emery‘s assistant MacPhee, 46, appeared to tap a ball into the pitch before a Chelsea throw-in during the fifth minute of injury time.
The referee noticed and immediately booked the set-piece coach for timewasting.
McGinn shared that highlight on his Twitter account and added three laughing emojis.
