TOM COLLOMOSSE AT STADE PIERRE-MAUROY: Perhaps Emery was right after all. Not long into the second half of this painfully drab Europa League tie at Lille‚ Watkins' instinctive header gave Villa the only goal. It made Emery's men favourites to advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League‚ with the second leg at Villa Park on March 19. Even more importantly‚ it should restore a little of Villa's fraying self-belief as they prepare to meet Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday‚ as both clubs tussle for a top-five finish in the Premier League and a place in next season's Champions League.
