A last-gasp goal from John McGinn gained Aston Villa a valuable Europa Conference League win against Zrinjski Mostar.
Villa's captain headed his team into a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute of stoppage time to earn Unai Emery's side the points.
Zrinjski Mostar fought bravely before succumbing to a lot of pressure from the hosts in the final moments at Villa Park, with McGinn's goal fully deserved after a better second half performance.
SUPER JOHN MCGINN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
