Leon Bailey held back by Douglas Luiz after EXPLODING at team-mate Ollie Watkins after Aston Villa goal ruled out
LEON BAILEY had to be held back by Douglas Luiz after exploding at Ollie Watkins during Aston Villa’s clash against Liverpool.
The Villa stars clashed after Watkins had a goal ruled out for offside.
The English striker thought he had got his side back into the tie as they trailed 3-1 to Jurgen Klopp’s men at Villa Park.
However, VAR ruled out the goal for offside, which appeared to spark a conflict between Bailey and Watkins.
Bailey was spotted gesturing angrily towards Watkins before being intercepted by Luiz.
The Brazilian midfielder grabbed the Jamaican and tried to stop him from continuing his blast towards Watkins.
Fans reacted to the moment on social media.
One posted: “Things got a bit heated between Bailey and Watkins.”
A second wrote: “What the f*** is Bailey shouting at Watkins for??
“The guy has carried your entire team all season, whilst you moan at everyone and do nothing.”

A fourth joked: “Hopefully, Bailey and Watkins will stay focused on murdering each other rather than scoring goals.”
Another added: “Don’t understand why was Bailey so angry with Watkins for an offside.”
There had already been some notable incidents in the top four clash.
Arsenal fans claimed Emiliano Martinez was a “sleeper agent” after his howler gave Liverpool the lead in the 63rd second.
While defender Diego Carlos produced what has been labelled as the miss of the century.
Villa did manage to rescue a point from the match as Jhon Duran netted twice in the last five minutes to make it 3-3.
