Aston Villa stormed into the Europa League final with a sensational 4-0 demolition of Nottingham Forest at Villa Park.
The clinical Ollie Watkins spearheaded the charge, finding the net early to set the tone for a dominant evening in Birmingham.
Forest struggled to contain the waves of pressure as Villa’s midfield took total control of the tempo and territory.
Two quick-fire goals in the second half by John McGinn effectively ended the contest, leaving the visitors with no answer to the hosts` superior quality.
Unai Emery has already won the Europa League four times, thrice with Sevilla and once with Villarreal.
