The Mayhem and Madness season of Manchester United ended in a crazy flurry of red cards and red fog – as Aston Villa de Champions League missed in a huge controversial way.
First villa keeper Emi Martinez received his marsorders for a stunning body check on Rasmus Hojlund after racing from his area.
And then, just when Villa thought they had taken a goal to bring them to a moving distance from a Champions League slot, Morgan Rogers saw his potential winner dramatic Ko'd.
Rogers jumped to turn and just shoot in an unguarded from a corner, after Altay Bayindir slipped out of his grip while he started to smother the quirky head of Harry Maguire.
But referee Thomas Bramall had blown the ball out of his hands for an error – before the villa striker turned around to finish the chance.
And although repetitions suggested that it could easily have been an incorrect call, the fact that he had whistled before Roger's shot meant that Var Stuart Attwell could not participate.
Even then a point might have been enough for Villa, who had overtaken fifth place thanks to Everton who continued in Newcastle.
But 15 minutes from the end, Bruno Fernandes drove a cross to the distant pole that screamed to have been completed – and the header of Amad Diallo made sure it was.
To be honest, it was a lead that United had earned in a game that they had dominated for a long time, long before they had a man benefit.
Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Fernandes and Amad had all come close to put them forward … And that was before we even got the peace.

By the time we did, Villa was up to ten, thanks to that crazy Martinez moment, caused by Matty Cash's hopelessly short backpass.
While Hojlund held on the loose ball, the villa keeper shot his goal and hit his red-shirt opponent.
Referee Bramall almost pointed the way to the dressing room before he arrived on stage.
Amazing, Martinez stood with vast arms and protested against his innocence.
It is clear that with the plea that Hojlund left the goal … and he was certainly by the time that the South -American was completed with him.
Of course it would not have been united if they had not made any tough weather, as if they were completing their chaotic campaign with another cock-up.
But then, five minutes of time, Ian Maatssen Hakken cut on the right side of the box and Christian Eriksen – in his last game for United – buried the penalty.
Villa Chief Unai Emery applauded sarcastically about what he thought was that a new shocking call was against his side.
But he would be better served to focus on the shocking one made his keeper.
