"Very disappointed in the referees today, I couldn't breathe for a second after getting elbowed twice in my rib," Bailey fumed on Twitter.

It would make the wretched defeat sting even more for Martinez, whose side found themselves 3-1 down after just 11 minutes at Villa Park. Bailey broke the deadlock in the seventh minute thanks to good build-up play from firstly Ollie Watkins and then Jacob Ramsey, who slipped the former Bayer Leverkusen ace through on goal with a well-timed pass.
