Bramall appointed 'on merit'
Former Premier League referee Chris Foy said Thomas Bramall's decision on Sunday was an "unfortunate incident" but that many referees "would have given a foul in that situation". Bramall blew for a foul when Morgan Rogers nudged the ball away from Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir before the Villa midfielder put the ball in the net. Bramall thought Bayindir had two hands on the ball, though television footage suggested otherwise, and because he stopped play before the ball crossed the line, the video assistant referee (VAR) could not intervene. Foy told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club he was "impressed" by Bramall's showing in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth on 20 May - a match that featured a straight red card for each side. Foy added: "He's been given the [Villa] game on merit, he was worthy of his appointment. "Unfortunately we're talking about one decision because he made a really good decision to send the goalkeeper off and took his time to give the penalty. "He was going really well but unfortunately we're talking about this one decision." Former Villa goalkeeper Shay Given said Bramall will "learn" and "grow" from this situation. "Let's not forget Thomas Bramall is a human being," he added. "I find it more difficult when VAR with all different angles make wrong decisions. This guy has just made a human error, it's more forgivable." Listen to the Monday Night Club's discussion on the incident on BBC Sounds

Sutton on 'extremes' of Europa League final
On the latest episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, the panel discusses the upcoming Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Both clubs are in the bottom half of the Premier League table, with victory in the final their only route into European competition next season. "There is so much fear running through both managers, in terms of if anything happens to key players," former Premier League striker Chris Sutton said. "Tottenham don't have momentum, Manchester United don't have momentum. This could be one of the worst Europa League finals ever, in terms of two teams going into it who have both been utterly useless.

'This is not a sport that is defined by owners'

It was a part of a discussion stemming from Evangelos Marinakis entering the pitch after Nottingham Forest's draw against Leicester on Sunday. The Observer's Rory Smith said: "I think it's really unhealthy for football if owners turn themselves into the central characters.

They should not be the central characters and we should not be building them up to be the central characters." Watch the full episode on BBC iPlayer or listen on BBC Sounds
