REPORT: BARKLEY SEALS LATE VILLA WINNER
Ross Barkley came off the bench to score a late deflected winner as Aston Villa took a massive step towards automatic qualification for the UEFA Champions League knockout stage with a 3-2 win at RB Leipzig.
Villa twice led a breathless encounter in Germany via goals from captain John McGinn (3') and free-scoring substitute Jhon Duran (52'), only for Marco Rose's side to hit back in style against the Premier League visitors through Lois Openda (27') and Christoph Baumgartner (62').
But Unai Emery's side sealed a merited win on 85 minutes when Barkley saw a speculative effort take a huge deflection off Lukas Klostermann to nestle in the home net.
Villa move onto 13 points from six matches, third in the standings, but Leipzig's forgettable campaign is over after a sixth-straight defeat.

OPENDA BLOWS CHANCE TO WIN IT FOR LEIPZIG!
Not sure what Pau Torres is doing. Gives the ball away under no pressure, but the Openda finish is straight into the arms of Martinez. He then drills the ball a yard or two over seconds later.

ANOTHER BOOKING FOR DISSENT!
Benjamin Henrichs picks up a booking for complaining about a decision. Silly stuff.

Probably to keep warm on a cold night as much as anything else. A draw wouldn't be a bad result for Villa tonight, but perhaps not for top eight and automatic qualification for the knock-out stage.

Duran seems to do all is best work when he arrives from the bench.

Excellent low finish by Duran from the Cash cross as Villa appear to move 3-1 clear, but VAR confirms Cash went too early before he provided the assist.
