Lille vs Aston Villa LIVE: Europa Conference League result and reaction after Villa win on penalties

A huge second half for Aston Villa in their bid to win a second major European trophy.

They’ve played poorly so far in truth, but they’ll have plenty of time to rectify it, and they’ll know that they can cause problems in this Lille defence.

For the home side, fans will want more of the same, plus a little bit more attacking threat. Their goal was very well worked, but there’s been little to no real attacking since.

HALF-TIME! The home side go into the break 1-0 up on the night, with the tie level at 2-2. Work to do for Villa, who have been poor by their standards.

48 mins: Digne tries to attack but his only option is to fire it in to Rogers, who is easily dispossessed. That sums up Villa’s half, really.

Digne plays the long throw-in and it falls to Luiz, whose half-volley flies over, but the whistle had already gone for a foul.

46 mins: Yazici brings down Digne, who had intercepted well down the left, and Villa have possession again, but they can’t create anything.

45 mins: There’ll be four minutes of aded time.

44 mins: There was a little disagreement between Emery and fonseca, and now both managers have been booked!

Luiz takes the free-kick but it runs straight to Chevalier. Will that count as a shot maybe?

42 mins: Rogers slips through a lovely pass to the overlapping Cash, and it finds him in the box, but his shot is saved by the onrushing Chevalier. The flag goes up though, so STILL no shots for Villa.

Now Andre is booked for dragging Watkins back. That’s both of Lille’s defensive midfielders on a yellow now.

41 mins: Bentaleb is the latest to be booked after dragging down Tielemans as Villa looked to counter. Quite an early booking for the ex-Spurs man.

40 mins: Santos swings in a half-shot, half-cross and Cash heads it away. Lille’s turn for some sustained possession now – the home side look more dangerous when they do attack.
