Aston Villa beat Lille 2-1 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final at Villa Park.

Lille boss Paulo Fonseca, perenially linked with a move to England, said in his pre-match press conference that his side would pay special attention to Watkins, but allowed him three quickfire chances.

It was from another corner that Watkins did get on the scoresheet in the 13th minute, as he was left unmarked from McGinn's corner to power home a header from close range, though Lille thought there was a foul by Morgan Rogers. Only another last-ditch tackle from Diakhite denied Watkins a second after Douglas Luiz had played him in, but
