Key Moments Recap :
Goal : 44' Anwar El-Ghazi 1 - 0
Goal : 59' John McGinn 2 - 0
A nightmare for Roos but Villa and their fans are in dreamland! El Ghazi's shot takes a heavy deflection and it loops up into the air. You would expect the ball to safely land into the arms of Roos, but he drops it onto John McGinn's head and it bounces into the net!
Goal : 81' 2 - 1 Jack Marriott
GAME ON! After Mings initially makes a great tackle to deny Waghorn from poking his shot into the net, the ball comes out to Jozefzoon.
He crosses to the far post which Bogle cushions back with a header and Marriott strikes the ball into the bottom corner!
