The Premier League have released a statement following the referee's decision not to show Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne a red card during the Premier League match against West Ham.

Crystal Palace were promoted to replace Bristol City in the top flight, while on a wider note, the league is now under the management and operation of a new organisation set up to lead women's football towards further growth and progression, with Nikki Doucet overseeing both the WSL and Championship in a new phase for the game.

Leapfrogged by the Eagles in the Premier League standings, West Ham failed to register on a single shot on the goal of Dean Henderson throughout the course of the top-flight battle, suggesting that Potter's decision to switch to a back-five formation weakened the hosts' attack.

However, this team can dream a little higher than that under Oliver Glasner.

The draw sees West Ham move 11 points clear of the bottom three, while Aston Villa remain eighth, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City

Graham Potter's third Premier League game in charge of West Ham is a win away to Champions League side Aston Villa despite the absences of two center backs, two center forwards, and Jarrod Bowen.
