Emi Buendia scored an incredible goal to put Aston Villa 2-0 up in the Europa League final.

Aston Villa are on track to win their first major European trophy since 1982 as they lead Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 heading into half time.

Youri Tielemans opened the scoring in the 41st minute, but it was Buendia’s goal just a few later that put them well and truly in the driver’s seat.

Buendia has had a fantastic season after nearly leaving last summer, with 11 goals and eight assists in his 53 games.

The playmaker received the ball just outside of the box before sending his lovely curling effort beyond goalkeeper Noah Atubolu.
