Emi Martinez heroics seals progression for Villa

Aston Villa progressed to the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinals after beating Lille on penalties.

Villa had won the first leg 2-1 but looked like going out as Lille lead 2-0. However an 87th minute goal from Matty Cash took the game into extra time and penalties.

Penalties were always going to work in favour of Villa however given the presence of Emi Martinez in goal. The Argentine didn't disappoint and he was at his usual enigmatic self as he saved two penalties from Benjamin Andre and Nabil Bentaleb and burst into a dance.

Villa are now the only English side remaining in Europe.
