A win for Aston Villa on Tuesday evening would have put them in the driver's seat to secure a top-eight finish in their first season in the Champions League. However, defeat at Monaco means they must now win their final fixture next week at home to Celtic and hope that 16 points is enough to seal passage to the knockout stages.

Passing into the mouth of danger once and being bitten early did not scare Villa away from their desire to play the same way. When passes were crisp and accurate, they broke through Monaco lines, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey all having shooting opportunities.

Richard: First half wasn't bad. The second half, particularly after Jhon Duran came on to partner Ollie Watkins, was devoid of any creativity and drive from Villa. Monaco did well to crowd the midfield. Predicting an end-to-end, raucous finale against Celtic full of goals, but will it be enough?

Aston Villa went into this game knowing they had a big opportunity to put one foot into the Champions League knockouts. Prior to the game they would have fancied their chances of getting the win given they were in decent form while Monaco had been struggling with one win from their last eight games.
