Europa League live: Score and latest updates with Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest in action

Elliott could have marked his return to the team with a goal in the first minute – and was only denied by a freak “scorpion kick” save from Alexander Schlager. The Austrian keeper was still flying through the air after scrambling to retrieve the ball – and Elliott’s finish struck the back of his legs.

Slight concern here as Ollie Watkins reached to feel for hamstring after a sprint. He clearly felt something but it was not enough to take him off the pitch. 

Emi Martinez has made an excellent double-save, denying Soumaila Diabate’s blast and the follow-up from Karim Konaté.
