Aston Villa secured second place in the Europa League table on Thursday night after a 3-2 win over RB Salzburg.

The visitors took advantage of a poor performance from Villa in the opening hour to go 2-0 ahead, but goals from Morgan Rogers and Tyrone Mings drew us level as we launched a stirring comeback in the latter stages of the encounter.

It was youngster Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba who came off the bench to convert our winner, in what was a brilliant moment for him and a critical one for the team as we ensured that we’ll play at home in the second leg throughout the knockout phase of the competition.

On the agenda in this episode of the Talk Villa podcast:
