Aston Villa 2-0 Lille - the fans' verdict
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Aston Villa's 2-0 win over Lille, and their progression into the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Here are some of your comments: Matt: At last, Abraham for Watkins. When Ollie came on he looked fresh, good assist.
Villa slowly turning a very difficult corner. The next European game is massive for us. To be honest, I'll take the cup right now and I don't care what happens in the league.
UTV. Martin: Brilliant performance from everyone on the pitch. Sancho started taking on defenders with pace and lifted the tempo with his skills.
When Watkins came on, a lot more runs were made and we felt more calm on the ball. The first goal was a moment of class from the man in goal (Martinez) as he played it about four-fifths of the pitch to Sancho, who skilled his man then played it across for super John McGinn. A tactical masterclass from Emery as he knew we should hit them on the counter whilst keeping the ball and slowing the game down.
This is yet another building block and now we need to get back to winning form. Come on the Villans! Rob: To be honest, it was a walk in the park.
