Facing Chelsea yesterday, Aston Villa had the opportunity to get closer to their goal: returning to the Champions League. The Villans were caught by the Blues (2-2), but remain in good position to finish in the top 4.

If the result is frustrating, coach Unai Emery also deplores a hard blow, the loss of his goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to injury. The Argentine goalkeeper was replaced by Robin Olsen after returning from the locker room in the second half. The nature of his injury is not yet known, but his absence could prove fatal in the final sprint in the Premier League.
