Unai Emery wants to turn nights like this for Aston Villa into the norm and if anyone can it's him. But this was anything but normal. Jhon Duran, you beauty.

In July, Duran was the subject of a formal bid from West Ham, who offered £30m plus teenager Lewis Orford. Villa did not accept the deal and launched an internal investigation into Duran’s conduct when he crossed his arms during an Instagram live video to his followers, seemingly mimicking the Hammers gesture.

An echo of the greatest night in Aston Villa’s history but the clearest note was of a hopeful future: under Unai Emery, a modern giant of European football fell at Villa Park at the first time of asking.
