Aston Villa stand on the brink of something special.A 3-1 victory in Belgium last week has put them in control of their Champions League last-16 tie against Club Brugge, and Wednesday’s second leg at Villa Park offers the chance to seal a historic quarter-final place.

Villa have taken the lead and it’s the former Brentford man Ollie Watkins who has fired the visitors in front. The 29 year old receives the ball on the left hand side and cuts in to drive a well-struck deflected shot through Flekken’s legs to open the scoring.
