Video shows Tanzanian fans watching Mbwana Samatta make his Aston Villa debut

Aston Villa booked a place in the final of the League Cup yesternight following a 2-1 win over Leicester City at Villa Park.

Dean Smith’s men held the Foxes to a 1-1 draw in the first-leg at King Power Stadium and were leading heading into the 71st minute following Matt Targett’s 12th-minute opener.

However, Kelechi Iheanacho drew the visitors level, and the game appeared to be heading into penalties until Trezeguet’s 93rd-minute strike sent Villa to Wembley, sparking wild scenes of joy and a pitch invasion as the Villans reached their first showpiece final since 2015.
