Fresh from securing their first major European semi-final appearance since 1982 in midweek, Aston Villa will look to continue their charge to the Champions League when they return to Premier League action at home against Bournemouth.
The Lions' dream of landing the UEFA Europa Conference League remains alive following a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Lille. A goal in each half of the second leg by Yusuf Yazici and Benjamin Andrew looked set to send Lille through on aggregate before Matty Cash struck a late goal to force extra time.
Much-mocked Argentine World Cup-winning goalie Emiliano Martinez emerged as the shootout hero, making two saves and performing some typical theatrics. Attention now turns to the Premier League, where they opened up a three-point gap on fellow top-four hopefuls Tottenham by beating title-chasing Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium this past weekend.
