🆘 : A truly chastening performance from Friend that brought universal condemnation, the catalogue of errors are too great to summarise but given one can be paraphrased as 'the worst refereeing error seen on a football pitch' you get the idea. Friend would never referee Villa again before retiring in 2022.
