Ian Wright lost it live on ITV and wanted answers after controversial moment in Aston Villa’s win over West Ham

Ian Wright lost in live on-air as he couldn't believe the controversial decision during Aston Villa's win over West Ham United in the FA Cup.

Villa came from behind to beat West Ham on Friday to secure their spot in the next round of the FA Cup.

New Hammers boss Graham Potter watched his side take an early lead at Villa Park when Lucas Paqueta swept home from inside the box.

But the hosts turned the game on its head in the space of five second-half minutes.

Amadou Onana bundled home from a corner to equalise then Morgan Rodgers converted Ollie Watkins' pass.

However, the decision to award Villa a corner angered Arsenal legend Wright, who slammed the moment and questioned how the officials got it wrong.

Onana hit a shot that went through a crowded box and out of play with no-one touching the ball.

The match referee, though, awarded a corner to Villa, who made the most of it, scoring from the resulting set-piece.

On ITV, Wright exclaimed: "The referee and the assistant messed up totally with that corner

"I can’t believe the referee, he’s standing there.

"He’s standing right there and it’s gone through a gap of people and he’s not seen it.

"Look, no one is near it - how can you get that one wrong?

"West Ham were in this. Yes, they had to defend a bit because Villa got on top but it’s such a shame."

After Onana's goal, Rodgers put his side in the lead, with Villa claiming a 2-1 win.

Speaking after the game, Potter said via The Daily Mail: "Our performance gave me a lot of encouragement, the way the players tried to do what we asked them to do was really encouraging,’ said Potter. ‘It is just that you can’t replicate that feeling when the opposition score and it’s into your stomach, but it is what it is.

"We had a couple of chances at the end but it wasn’t meant to be and their first goal came from a corner that we didn’t think it was. We are disappointed."
