After coming back from 2-0 down, the Frenchman headed in a cutback from international compatriot Benoit Badiashile to secure a 3-2 win. Unfortunately for the West Londoners, Craig Pawson was told to go to the pitch-side monitor as Badiashile was adjudged to have shoved Diego Carlos in the build-up to the goal. When the goal was disallowed, Pochettino was furious with the decision. The full pack of TNT Sports includes:

After he claimed VAR is “ruining the image of English football,” the TNT Sports reporter began their question by saying, “You’re clearly frustrated about it.”
Before they could finish their question, Pochettino interrupted and said, “I’m not frustrated, I am relaxed, I am calm. “I want to say nothing wrong. It’s only to help. The performance was very good and we played really well.
It is true in the first half we conceded easy.” As for Mauricio Pochettino’s post-match interview, he mentioned, “What was your reaction to Mauricio Pochettino’s post-match interview? To play Villa who are fighting for the top four, I am pleased with the team and the players were good. I think that it was what we expected and today was a good opportunity against a good team.”
While the top four is now mathematically impossible for the West Londoners, they can still qualify for the Europa League with a sixth-placed finish.
