Aston Villa won't forget the name El Kaabi in a hurry 🤭 | OneFootball

Aston Villa are on the brink of an exit from Europe, after an early goal in Athens sees them trail by three goals in the tie with less than 90 minutes left to play.

Unai Emery's side headed to Piraeus to take on Olympiacos in the second-leg of the Europa Conference League, having to turn around a 4-2 deficit courtesy of a hat-trick from Ayoub El Kaabi at Villa Park.

But any hopes of a recovery were severely dented just minutes into their encounter when El Kaabi found the net once more, tapping in from a cross by ex-Wolves man Daniel Podence.

It left Villa needing three goals just to take the game to extra time, and four to ensure they head through.

But that dream was burst by that man again, with El Kaabi grabbing another goal 20 minutes from time to ensure that they went through at Villa's expense.

Safe to say, Villa will be having nightmares of El Kaabi for weeks to come.
