Aston Villa rip Liverpool apart to secure Champions League football

Aston Villa secured Champions League qualification at Liverpool's expense - with Arne Slot's side forced to wait a top-five finish after being "taken to the cleaners" with a 4-2 loss.

Watkins' second-half double capped off a performance for Unai Emery's side - who can go into Wednesday's Europa League final with a seat at Europe's top table already secured.
