Aston Villa give away penalty as Tyrone Mings PICKS UP ball in own penalty area as referee gives bizarre spot kick

TYRONE MINGS gave away an unbelievable penalty in Aston Villa’s Champions League clash with Club Brugge tonight.

The Villa centre-back was punished for a lapse in concentration that saw him reach down and pick up the ball in his own box.

Mings, 31, had the ball passed to him inside the area by goalkeeper Emi Martinez at a goal kick.

But the former England defender thought that Martinez was kicking him the ball for him to take the penalty, prompting a VAR check for handball.

The referee had no choice but to award the penalty, which was dispatched by Hans Vanaken.
