Gary O’Neil and Unai Emery both dismissed suggestions of a post-match spat after failing to shake hands following Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Wolves and Villa.Visiting head coach Emery headed down the tunnel after waiting briefly for O’Neil, who was engaged in conversation with the fourth official, at the finale of a bad-tempered Molineux derby which included 28 fouls.
Asked what had happened at full-time, the Villa head coach replied: “Nothing. I was waiting to tell him congratulations and give my hand. He was speaking with the assistant referee and I left. Simple.” "My conversation with the fourth official was about eight seconds long, so he wouldn't have had to wait very long, but I understand if he doesn't want to. No problem. I've got no problem with Unai at all.”
