Villa got themselves ahead against the run of play in the first half, with Frederic Guilbert firing home Anwar El Ghazi's cross, but could've doubled their lead before half time after Ezri Konsa hit the bar.

Dean Smith's side put in a brilliant defensive performance up until the host's leveller, with Douglas Luiz losing the ball in midfield leading to Kelechi Iheanacho's equaliser.

The result leaved the semi-final tie finely poised heading into the second leg at Villa Park, with both sides in with a great chance of booking their place at Wembley.
