IT WAS a night no Aston Villa fan will ever forget.
The night when this wonderful old club wrote the start of a new chapter in their glorious European history.
Of course it had to be supersub Jhon Duran who was the hero, as his 79th-minute wonder goal lit up Villa Park as Unai Emery's heroes saw off one of European football's heavyweights.
It was Duran's sixth goal of the season and five have come from him being a substitute and now he has written his name into Villa folklore. The roof came off the place and that just served to remind everyone what this means to the Villa faithful after such a long wait to return to European football's biggest stage.
It was the first European Cup tie at Villa Park in 41 years and a rematch of the 1982 final when Villa enjoyed the greatest night in their history. This one will live long in the memory, too.
