00:00Aston Villa make one in force change from last week's first leg with Amadou Anana missing the game through injury
00:05managed to start this evening but is among the substitutes with James McAtee taking his place
00:10the other change from last
00:14well the only other set play Villa have had in the early stages of the match was the
00:18the free kick from again and the tip over the bar from Ortega there
00:24harassing Forrest not giving them a moment's peace
00:26nice ball from Rogers into Buendia who looks to tee it up
00:39and Carlson Forrest standing firm again and the header from Watkins is comfortably saved
00:44took a whack in the process actually Oli Watkins there
00:50pressure on Nikola Milenkovic
00:54run back and Buendia in towards Rogers and Tielemans finds Watkins and it's
00:59Emi Buendia and Villa are lively and buzzing and piling on the pressure and it's Buendia
01:04who looks for an opening and it's the equalising goal in the tie
01:08the first of the night for Oli Watkins game on now Villa one Forrest
01:141-0 1-1 on aggregate the roof comes off the whole ten
01:24just listen to that noise and what it means to the Aston Villa supporters
01:29Oli Watkins will get all applauded because he's the goal scorer but what about the provider Emi Buendia
01:38he does superbly well to skip past challenge after challenge inside the box Forrest nervous about
01:45here come Villa with John McGinn and they're looking to take advantage of this little passage of the game
01:51good save by Ortega back out to Rogers who rather miscues that I'm not quite sure what he had in
01:57mind but it certainly wasn't
01:58in and see it out there rocking a little bit at the moment leaning back on the ropes in boxing
02:04team
02:05still looking at it now
02:07in it comes
02:08and it's off Igor Jesus it'll be a goal kick
02:16well there goes the half-time whistle and there's the man who has leveled the match up
02:21got on the ball and I think it's a little unlucky probably to be the one that's been withdrawn
02:27but he just felt as if they needed an extra body
02:30what a big 45 minutes coming up for these two teams who's going to make it to Istanbul to the
02:36final
02:38Paul Torres just reminding Oli Watkins which one they're going to go for here
02:47Tillemans in towards Buendia nicely done
02:50Torres was he pulled back there inside the six-yard box
02:55my first reaction was there was a pull on the shirt
03:00you'll see he's got he's grabbed the back of his shirt sir
03:04protesting his innocence as best he can
03:06oh there's definitely a pull on the shirt
03:08yeah absolutely he's going to have a look
03:15big moment here in the tie
03:18referee saying I'm going to have a look and I need you lot to all just stand out
03:21he'll be he'll be getting the spray out and drawing a line near the edge of the pitch to keep
03:25them away
03:26well it looks pretty conclusive
03:29real time I thought penalty
03:31I thought he's pulled his shirt
03:33and you see it's quite clear
03:34there's the evidence
03:37I mean you don't need to see that too many times do you
03:42it's a penalty
03:46against Ortega
03:49Villapark holds its breath
03:502-1
03:54Aston Villa ahead in the semi-final for the first time overall
04:01and the little Argentine make an impact in the game but the ball just hasn't really fallen from yet
04:09header from Tielemans into Buendia here's Rogers now with the flick looking for Oli Watkins and Watkins makes it three
04:17flag goes up
04:21sharp shooting there from Villa's striker
04:24good finish
04:25he didn't get himself back onside I'm pretty sure
04:28balls flick round the corner from Morgan Rodgers
04:30you see he's about three yards offside where the ball's played to him
04:33he was a mile offside wasn't he
04:35that was a good finish
04:37yeah
04:37but he didn't work quite hard enough to get himself back onside
04:41well they're singing his name
04:47here's McGuett
04:48chance for number three not taken
04:52Williams tries to dig it out
04:53one in the air by Tielemans that's Rogers Tielemans into
04:57Emi Buendia who's been outstanding and now Morgan Rodgers and
05:00Rodgers has got a little sighting of the gold here and the deflection
05:04it carries it into the gloves of Ortega
05:06best we've seen from Morgan Rodgers
05:09the pass from Anderson is a bit loose it's fallen
05:11favourably and a chance now and Chris Wood is clean through on goal
05:15word denied by Emi Martinez Villas players all look across and finally
05:21Martinez was he offside
05:23had he gone a fraction too soon and the answer is probably yes
05:26his shoulder looked like he was the wrong side
05:29very close either way wasn't it good save though
05:31yeah it was a really good save
05:33Martinez made an outstanding save in the first half last year
05:43good ball and Rodgers has done brilliantly
05:47and here's McGuett it's number three
05:49the captain scores and Villa can dream of a stand ball
06:01what a night it's turning into in Birmingham
06:04what a comeback in this semi-final
06:08and in the Europa League
06:10the most decorated manager of all is at it again
06:1813 minutes to go
06:20it's a two-goal cushion
06:23John McGuett makes it three
06:26well in the search of a way back into the game
06:30Nottingham Forest have left so many gaps at the back
06:34and Villa exploits it
06:36John McGuett got two against Forest
06:38in a 3-1 victory in January
06:40and he's just added another
06:42brilliant play again
06:44but the more they've gone chasing
06:47the more gaps that have appeared
06:48and Villa have exploited them
06:50Bogard's done well
06:51here comes Rodgers
06:53is this his moment
06:54it's McGuett again
