Zrinjski Mostar 1-1 Aston Villa: Villa advance to UECL last 16 as group winners

Aston Villa clinched top spot in Group E and their place in the last 16 of the Europa Conference League with a draw at Zrinjski Mostar.

Nicolo Zaniolo's placed effort from substitute John McGinn's second-half cross appeared to have given Villa victory.

However, Matija Malekinusic's curling late effort ensured a nervy finale for the visitors who dominated early on.

Villa finished a point clear of Legia Warsaw, with Zrinjski bottom.
