Verna returns to join husband Rupert to discuss the pulsating, riveting, nerve shredding victory over CL qualification rivals Chelsea.

Rashford arrives at half time and with Mcginn, Youri, Maalen and Assensio somehow get Villa over the line to a win with 2 goals in the second half ,

Another slow start, another goal given to the opposition, another masterclass in ineptitude from Watkins.

Bit this is what they new guys were bought for, to drag this sluggish side over the line and now there are delivering. More nice results today and we didnt blow it this time.

wonderful, wonderful stuff

Husband is joined by the cousins Nick and Jo, as its a midweek game and Verna the wife is only contractually obliged to appear at weekend premiership games,

The cousins discuss

• the pulsating, heart aching nature of the game
• could have won and could have lost it
• the villa midfield dominant
• Martinez saves wow
• Garcia recovery was superb form after this crucial mistake
• Watkins brilliant

  Nick and Rupert believe another draw compounds our problems in European qualification where as Jo is still a believer

Husband - of European's leading podcast on Aston Villa by a married couple - does a solo, final whistle pod on the very disappointing result against a team with only10 men for over 50 minutes.

Same old, same old

• Lazy, casual and complacent defending
• Poor finishing from Watkins

and now too consistently...

• Dreadful corners
• Not capitalising on other teams also losing around us

In fact Villa went backwards today to 9th and still with negative goal difference - simply not good enough

The new players were the big positive - in particular Marcus Rashfordwho is indeed Marcus Rashford. He was superb
