Villa seal place in Europa League last 16 as Celtic draw in Italy
- On Thursday in Istanbul, Jadon Sancho's header secured Aston Villa a 1-0 win at Fenerbahce, clinching their place in the Europa League last 16.
- Villa's recent form—six wins in seven—under Unai Emery, a four-time Europa League winner managing his 100th game, underpins their progress.
- Marco Bizot kept Villa ahead with a series of saves, making eight crucial stops overall while Matty Cash struck the post and Fenerbahce had a late equaliser disallowed by VAR.
- Villa are now second on 18 points, trailing Lyon on goal difference, while Lyon's 1-0 win at Young Boys secured their last-16 place; Villa's home game against RB Salzburg next week is a formality.
- Celtic were held to a 2-2 draw in Bologna after surrendering a two-goal lead, and Reo Hatate was sent off; the Scottish champions must now host Utrecht next week to decide their fate.
