Aston Villa 4-0 Ajax (4-0 agg): Villa advance into quarter-finals of Europa Conference League

Aston Villa captain John McGinn wants more memorable European nights after helping the club into the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.

Villa beat four-time European champions Ajax 4-0 at home to move into the last eight of a major European competition for the first time since 1998.

"We want to achieve more," said McGinn. "We've given the fans one to remember but we don't want to stop here.

"It's up there [with his best nights] and we didn't want the journey to end."

Ollie Watkins headed Villa ahead and Leon Bailey made it 2-0 before visiting midfielder Sivert Mannsverk was sent off for two bookable offences.
