Chema Andrés produced a thumping finish to snatch victory for the hosts and leave the crestfallen Swiss outside of the play-offs. FT: Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvaros Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports at the City Ground I do think it is a good performance and fringe players were standouts. They were clinical in front of goal. Ferencvaros had their moments, but it was all Forest. As soon as they scored that first goal it was all Forest. Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvaros That's that. Nottingham Forest win convincingly. They'll face a play-off for a place in the last 16, as will Ferencvaros. The Hungarians were in the top eight at the start of the evening but drop out after being well beaten by Sean Dyche's men. Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvaros We're into three added minutes at the City Ground. That penalty was the sixth Forest have been awarded in eight league phase games! Aston Villa 3-2 RB Salzburg From 2-0 down to 3-2 up. Villa end the league phase with a win as they secure second place. They'll be a force in the last 16. Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvaros Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports at the City Ground Bence Otvos, again. He is adamant that he hasn't, but he is pulling Dan Ndoye's shirt. Brilliant for James Mc Atee. He has been playing well tonight. You have seen the confidence, and the belief of the player. Look how happy they are for him. Aston Villa 3-2 RB Salzburg Villa fans must fancy themselves to go deep in this competition, especially because they've got Unai Emery in charge. He's won four of these and three of them came in a row. James Mc Atee (pen, 90 mins) James Mc Atee calmly sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to score his first Nottingham Forest goal. He's deserved that with his performance tonight. The left-footer went to his right and even if the keeper had guessed right, it was struck well enough that he likely would not have got to it. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say I’m a Palace fan with no real emotion attached to Villa. What an amazing story though and what a composed finish! Take a bow young man and well done, incredible! Nick, Kent What a finish that is from Konstantinos Karetsas. A left-footed curled effort from 20 yards that loops over the Malmo goalkeeper Melker

Ellborg. Genk have come from behind to lead and are now level on points with eighth-placed Roma, who have not long equalised against Panathinaikos. Aston Villa 3-2 RB Salzburg We're into three minutes of added time at Villa Park. What a second half this has been! Big moves have happened at the bottom in recent minutes. A goal for already eliminated Sturm Graz at SK Brann means that they are dragging their hosts out of the competition with them. The beneficiaries of that are Young Boys, who move into 24th. Ludogorets move further up into the play-offs with that goal too. Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ferencvaros Moments after Forest come close to a fourth through James Mc Atee, they are awarded a penalty. A bad night for Bence Otvos gets worse, after his own goal in the first half, he gives away the spot kick by dragging Dan Ndoye to the ground. Aston Villa 3-2 RB Salzburg Martin Keown Former Aston Villa defender on TNT Sports It comes from Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba's mate off the bench. The other substitution, Kadan Young. How fitting is that? We thought it might be Harvey Elliott, but it's this man. It's begging to be tucked in and the composure to put it in. It's a cultured finish. Go and celebrate with the Holte End. Perfect. Aston Villa 3-2 RB Salzburg That goal was straight out of the youth team. Great to see the youngsters getting involved. Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba (87 mins) Villa Park erupts! Kadan Young carries the ball really well and waits for a team-mate to back him up. He slides the ball across the box for Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba to slot into the far corner. A dream for the 19-year-old in front of the Holte End. As the clock ticks into the closing stages around Europe, here is how the top eight is lining up. The same eight teams that started the night in there will be finishing in there, albeit in a slightly different order. Roma's equaliser at Panathanaikos means they wrestle eighth spot back off Bologna, who drop into the play-offs. Aston Villa 2-2 RB Salzburg Salzburg move forward for a rare attack but Soumaila Diabate's effort takes a nick to take all the pace off it. Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ferencvaros Another change for Sean Dyche's side. Nicolas Dominguez is replaced by Dilane Bakwa. The winger has a little over six minutes plus stoppage time to try and make his mark. Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ferencvaros Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports at the City Ground David Grof does really well there. James Mc Atee is nearly absolutely perfect.
