Aston Villa 2-1 Legia Warsaw: Unai Emery's side close in on last-16 spot in UEFA Conference League after Moussa Diaby and Alex Moreno goals helped them go top of Group E... after Ernest Muci's superb equaliser

Aston Villa went top of their UEFA Conference League group and closed in on the last-16 after goals from Mousa Diaby and Alex Moreno helped them grind out a hard-fought win over Legia Warsaw.

Diaby had put Unai Emery's side ahead with just four minutes on the clock in a lightning-fast start for the hosts, before Ernest Muci stunned the Premier League outfit with a superbly taken curled finish to level the scores midway through the first half.

Alex Moreno then popped up with Villa's second in the second period, which proved to be enough to secure the three points as they look to wrap up their place in the knockout rounds.
