Sky Sports were forced to apologise for the issue

Initially, the screen turned green before a message came up and read: “We’re really sorry for this temporary fault.”

Commentators also apologised for the technical error – which was not fully explained.

Fans joked even Sky were so bored of the goalless draw they decided to pack it in.

One said: “Even Sky have given up on Villa’s performance tonight, they’ve pulled the plug.”

Another added: “Sky took the Villa game off tv due to how boring we’ve been.”

One joked: “Villa playing so badly tonight they’ve broken Sky.”

Another said: “Villa playing so s*** Sky just couldn’t be a***d.”

Villa fans did soon have something to smile about as Emi Buendia opened the scoring on the hour mark.
