00:00Big night for both with Aston Villa aiming to reach a European quarterfinal for the third season in a row
00:06and Lille their second ever quarterfinal appearance
00:09and up front Tammy Abraham gets the start ahead of last week's goal scorer Oli Watkins
00:14who's on the bench along where he enjoyed so much success with Arsenal and Chelsea earlier in his career
00:24and it's Lille who gets underway with Buadi taking the kickoff, one in the air by
00:35McGinn's delivery, great save and Sancho couldn't turn it in
00:42as it came over the header from Amadou Anana was goal bound, clawed away by Ozil
00:48and the miscue from Sancho, the quarterfinals as it stands
00:53and the header from Oli Watkins in northern France a week ago
00:58is still the only thing that separates the two sides, Amadou Anana with the header
01:03a quarterfinal place against either Roma or Bologna in the Europa League
01:15struck by Bentelev, saved by Emi Martinez
01:24the clearance is long, the clearance is excellent
01:26and it's collected by Jadon Sancho
01:29and Sancho tees it up and John McGinn scores
01:32from one end of the field to the other, it's route one par excellence
01:39Villa Park erupts
01:43Martinez with outstanding distribution
01:46a sublime touch from Sancho
01:49and Villa's captain buries the chance
01:53and Aston Villa have a two goal lead
02:08and suddenly Villa Park comes alive
02:11it was the Bentelev free kick, it was well struck
02:14saved by Martinez
02:16how about this for an excellent piece of distribution
02:22bypassing the defence
02:23Jadon Sancho, delightful touch
02:25guided home by John McGinn
02:29Aston Villa 1, Lille 0 on the night
02:312-0 on aggregate
02:39that's a lovely little flick into Olivier Giroud
02:42who slams it home
02:44and the flag goes up
02:45I think everybody was just waiting for that to happen
02:48but probably Olivier Giroud as well
02:55you can clearly see he's well offside
02:59great finish though
03:05McGinn finding Rodgers
03:06he's looking more and more influential
03:08the pass picks out Olly Watkins
03:10who tees it up and goes for goal
03:14no foul for the challenge on Mernier
03:17this is Galiel Moukou
03:21Bentelev
03:22takes the ball into Giroud
03:25stretching there
03:26again well marshalled
03:27by Victor Lindelof
03:29great experience Lindelof
03:32to match that of Giroud
03:41Luis
03:43terrific ball
03:44beautifully taken by Sancho
03:46goes for goal
03:47and smacks the post
03:49more free flowing from Villa
03:54since that opening goal of the night
03:58very close to his second goal
03:59for the club there
04:03Matson there
04:04and that was half a clearance from Luis really
04:07Bentele

04:20Idjuma
04:21good running by Mernier
04:23decent looking delivery
04:24no one there
04:25and Sancho
04:26with a chance to clear
04:27which he hasn't really taken
04:31Twyceville are not really clearing their lines
04:38Idjuma looking for a better angle
04:39and finding it
04:40beaten away by Martinez
04:48not that long on the field
04:49another substitution here
04:50and Jadon Sancho
04:52gets a good reception from the crowd
04:55as he heads off
04:59Villa making a couple of late changes now
05:02Harvey Elliott coming on as well
05:03Morgan Rogers
05:04good game from him
05:05acknowledged by his manager
05:07as he heads off
05:08and Harvey Elliott
05:10on for Villa
05:11what a difficult season he's had
05:12but

05:21León Bailey on as well
05:27and here's Elliott
05:29straight into the thick of the action
05:30having come off the bench
05:46he was running into trouble
05:48but did well
05:50Douglas Luiz gives the ball away
05:54breaks down for Lille
05:56the tumour
05:58collected by Elliott
06:00collected by Elliott
06:08steady performance from Victor Lindelof
06:10back in the team
06:12hasn't played so much lately
06:13but he's done an excellent job
06:15throughout the season
06:16whenever he's been called upon
06:22here's Elliott
06:23collecting the ball once more
06:24as Buendia sends it
06:26ball into Ollie Watkins
06:28Villa with a chance now
06:29it's Leon Bailey for number two
06:33the flag stays down
06:35and Leon Bailey celebrates
06:37and Aston Villa are heading
06:39to the quarterfinals of the Europa League
06:53it will be checked
06:56but Bailey
06:59it's loose from Ijuma
07:01and Elliott collects it for Villa
07:03and sweeps it forward
07:04he was looking for Ollie Watkins
07:06Leon Bailey collects
07:08Bailey now brimming with confidence
07:10here he comes
07:11he's got options
07:13Harvey Elliott's one of them
07:14challenged by the goalkeeper
07:17and almost in for number three
07:23Bentaleb
07:27in all likelihood the last minute
07:29of added time
07:32Fernandes Pardo
07:33has given Matty Cash the slip there
07:38it's a decent ball in
07:40Mattson's there to head it away
07:46Bentaleb shot
07:47and comfortably saved by
07:49Emi Martinez
07:52and we'll try to use up
07:53some of the remaining seconds here
07:55at the back end of additional time
07:57it was Emi Martinez who helped to
08:01break the game open
08:03job done
08:05serious couple of performances
08:06I think will be how Unai Emery describes this from his team
08:10because Aston Villa
08:12what her name is
08:15you
08:15you
08:16and
08:16you
