Prince William appeared to pass on words of encouragement - if not tactical advice - to Aston Villa manager Unai Emery ahead of his side's stunning Europa League comeback against Nottingham Forest on Thursday evening. The die-hard fan and heir to the throne was overcome with emotion in the stands as he watched Emery and Co overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg against their Premier League rivals in some style‚ courtesy of goals from Ollie Watkins‚ John McGinn‚ and a penalty coolly taken by Emi Buendia. The victory on home turf confirmed the Birmingham-based side's first appearance in a European final since winning the European Cup final in 1982.

Aston Villa have the best pound for pound signing in the league

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: One more win. One more win to turn a wonderful era for Aston Villa into one that will be remembered for ever. There was pressure here‚ all right. If Nottingham Forest had prevailed‚ Villa players‚ fans and even Unai Emery himself would have been questioning everything they had done. Not now. Not now Villa are so close to the Europa League title‚ which would be the fifth of Emery's career. How fitting it was that John McGinn‚ who joined this club when they were in the Championship‚ should score twice and produce a barnstorming performance just when it was needed. He has remained while players have come and gone and if he were to lift the trophy against Freiburg in the Final in Istanbul next month‚ his status as a Villa great would be assured. McGinn's late double secured the result after earlier goals from Ollie Watkins and Emi Buendia - from the penalty spot - had given them the edge.
