GALLERY: Villa secure spot in Round of 16

Aston Villa booked their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 as Nicolò Zaniolo bagged his first goal for the club in a 1-1 draw at HŠK Zrinjski.

Zaniolo controlled a cross from skipper John McGinn before coolly converting from eight yards just after the hour mark to put the visitors ahead at Gradski Stadium Mostar.

But Matija Malekinusic equalised with a 20-yard strike in the 87^th minute, the hosts’ first attempt on target, as the spoils were shared in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It ensured Unai Emery’s side finished top of Group E and will continue their European journey in the competition’s last 16 in March.
