Aston Villa beat Southampton despite Asensio missing 2 penalties

Aston Villa's Champions League run this season may have just days left in it as they trail Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 after the first leg of their quarter-final in the French capital.

But Unai Emery's men are making a charge to get back into the competition next season after maintaining their winning Premier League run with a 3-0 victory at already-relegated Southampton despite Marco Asensio having two penalties saved by Aaron Ramsdale.

Ollie Watkins was again left on the bench by Emery but made a stunning impact with a volley over Ramsdale from Youri Tielemans' dinked pass 17 minutes from time.

Donyell Malen then sealed the points with his third goal in as many league games.

Asensio's second spot-kick was saved in stoppage time, but John McGinn pounced on the rebound.

Villa climb above Chelsea into fifth, just one point behind City.
