FT: #AVFC 2-0 Lille (3-0 agg) Villa through to the quarter-finals. Game really changed through Martinez. Before his pass to Sancho, Villa Park had grown nervy & players were retreating. His excellence, Villa scoring on the break (finally) renewed confidence & made things easy.

GOAL: Leon Bailey seals Aston Villa's place in the last eight. Unselfish from Ollie Watkins, who lays the ball across the box for Bailey to tap in. #AVFC 2-0 Lille (3-0 AGG)

Sancho strikes the post after a terrific pass from Douglas Luiz. Front four playing with more freedom since the goal which came at a great time, really. And #AVFC largely have Martinez to thank

Rogers better tonight in driving #AVFC upfield and finding better pockets of space. He finds Watkins, who does well but can't pull the back back for a team-mate. Lille starting to open up, so Rogers/Watkins should be afforded more space

GOAL: JOHHNNNN McGINNNNN! Emi Martinez boots the ball down the pitch, sending Jadon Sancho on his ways. After chopping inside, Sancho then finds McGinn running into the box. Never in doubt from there... #AVFC 1-0 Lille (2-0 AGG)

Out of nowhere but so needed.Villa two up on aggregate. Martinez celebrates like it is his goal. He saves from a free kick before launching a long pass expertly to Sancho who does well, steadying himself before teeing up McGinn to finish. #AVFC do take advantage of a break away!

Jadon Sancho just ran the ball out under no pressure. #AVFC's inability to create from promising positions/breaks continues. They are retreating and Villa Park is nervy.

Ollie Watkins is coming on. #AVFC
