Aston Villa 4-0 Nottingham Forest - the fans' verdict
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views after Aston Villa beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate to reach the final of the Europa League. Here are some of your comments: Richard: What a fantastic team performance. Every single player put in a shift.
McGinn covered every blade of grass. Emery, the backroom staff, the players and especially the electric Villa fans deserve this moment - everyone has worked so hard to get there. As an 11 year old I was allowed to stay up and watch Villa's European Cup win over Bayern.
Some 44 years later I will definitely be watching Villa in a European final again. Steve: Wow they say a week is a long time in football. After one of the worst performances on Sunday this was one of the best in living memory.
Brilliant support, fantastic application by the players - we never stopped pressing and chasing. Watkins and Buendia were outstanding. Istanbul won't know what's hit them!
Mike: I've followed Villa for over 40 years and had almost given up hope of ever seeing them in a European final but here we are on the edge of cup glory and I couldn't be happier. What a total turnaround from the last couple of games and what a time to turn in the performance of the season. Emery's tactics were spot on giving Watkins, Rogers and McGinn free range to stamp their authority on the game.
