Aston Villa Back In Europe For First Time In 13 years
Aston Villa will play in Europe for the first time in 13 years after Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton sealed their place in next season's Europa Conference League. Unai Emery's side secured a seventh-place finish in the Premier League thanks to first-half goals from Douglas Luiz and Ollie Watkins on the final day of the season at Villa Park. Villa's long-awaited return to continental competition was a fitting reward for Emery after the Spaniard's impressive impact since taking over from the sacked Steven Gerrard in October.
