Villa tighten grip on top-four finish with win over West Ham

Aston Villa took a big step towards Champions League qualification with a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened West Ham at Villa Park.

John McGinn's measured finish from 20 yards out put Villa in control in what was a dominant first-half performance by Unai Emery's side and a poacher's effort from Ollie Watkins in the second half sealed the points.
