JUST NOW : Paul Merson says Aston Villa have an ‘absolutely lethal’ 26-year-old in their ranks……
Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa is having a fantastic season, and they still have hopes of qualifying for the Premier League top four and winning Europe.
On Thursday night, the Villans advanced to the Europa Conference League semifinals after defeating Lille via a penalty shootout.
Villa advanced to the European competition semifinals for the first time in forty-two years after their victory in France.
Furthermore, Villa, who are currently three points ahead of Tottenham in fifth place, are favored to finish in the Premier League’s top four.
Last week, the Villans defeated Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, shocking the team on home soil.
In the 84th minute, Leon Bailey scored the first goal. Three minutes later, Ollie Watkins secured all three points.
Paul Merson has now lauded Bailey’s “absolutely lethal” performance against Arsenal in the lead-up to Villa’s Sunday match against Bournemouth.
