Ollie Watkins continued his red-hot form as Aston Villa cruised to a statement 4-1 Europa Conference League win at AZ Alkmaar vivo
The striker netted his 10th goal of the season and fourth in Europe this season on Thursday vivo
Leon Bailey and Youri Tielemans – his first for Villa – put them in control in AZ Stadium after less than 25 minutes vivo
Vangelis Pavlidis wasted the hosts’ best chances but Watkins and John McGinn added more goals after the break in Holland before Ibrahim Sadiq grabbed a consolation vivo
It was the second time in two games Villa had scored four after their 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham on Sunday vivo
Unai Emery celebrated a year in charge on Tuesday and victory underlined the progress his side have made, having been floundering in 14th and three points above the relegation zone 12 months ago vivo
Villa host Alkmaar in two weeks knowing victory would see them take a giant leap to the knock-out stages, especially following an opening 3-2 defeat at Legia Warsaw in September vivo
After two games in Group E, all four teams were locked on three points but Villa moved to remedy that quickly, opening the scoring just 13 minutes in vivo
Watkins seized on a loose pass from Yukinari Sugawara and, while Boubacar Kamara’s ball was cut out, it fell for Bailey to control and rifle in low from the edge of the box vivo
Alkmaar cried handball but the goal stood and 10 minutes later, the hosts were 2-0 down vivo
Another poor pass, this time from Sven Mijnans, went straight to McGinn and his angled pass found Tielemans to bag his first Villa goal vivo
Yet, 90 seconds later, the hosts should have pulled a goal back when Pavlidis fired over with just Emi Martinez to beat after Kamara was dispossessed on the edge of the box vivo
Pavlidis had a goal disallowed for offside soon after but Villa regrouped and extended their lead six minutes after the break vivo
AZ were picked apart by Watkins, Tielemans and Bailey, who saw his shot saved by Matt Ryan but it fell perfectly for Watkins to tap in the rebound vivo
Five minutes later McGinn added a fourth when he turned in Bailey’s low cross at the near post vivo
Sadiq pulled a surprise goal back with 25 minutes left when he latched onto Bruno Martins Indi’s crossfield pass and drilled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box vivo
Tiago Dantas came close to a second, Tielemans deflecting his drive behind, with a comeback never on the cards vivo

In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids vivo
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was vivo
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career vivo
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last vivo
The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 vivo
Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks vivo
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs vivo
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick vivo
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 vivo
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him vivo
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage vivo
Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament vivo
A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order vivo
Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years vivo
May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa vivo
Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup vivo
Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years vivo
Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 vivo
Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 vivo
Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle vivo
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower vivo
All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward vivo
Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final vivo
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years vivo
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning vivo
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years vivo
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games vivo
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler vivo
Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row vivo
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes vivo
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre vivo
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get vivo better in the coming years vivo
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage vivo
Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 vivo
