As the teams walk out Villa fans in the Holte End hold up cards which spell 'Emery 100' to mark the manager's century of wins for the club, which came with victory at Lille last week.

Ismaila Sarr rattles the crossbar with a thunderous effort from outside the box!

Seconds later, Jorgen Strand Larsen’s header strikes the post and neither he nor Jean‑Philippe Mateta are able to bundle the ball over the line.

How is this only 2–1?!

Aston Villa have won just two of their last nine matches in all competitions as they have dropped out of the Premier League title hunt and are now looking over their shoulders in the race for Champions League qualification.

But boss Unai Emery – three times a Europa League winner as Sevilla head coach – has called for perspective.

“It (our form) can feel a little strange, but we are playing the second leg in the last 16 of the Europa League, and when we arrived here three and a half years ago, it was a dream in that moment,” the Spaniard said.

“Wow, it was so difficult to think we could achieve it in the period time we have, so quick. And how we are being consistent in Premier League, being fourth, even though we have lost in the last three matches, we are fourth in the league.

“It was a huge dream three years ago. Of course, we are being so, so demanding, and sometimes to be demanding like we are, we can become as frustrated.”

Villa would face Roma or Bologna if they can get past Ligue 1 side Lille.

Five minutes left of this extra time first half and so far there's been no real clear-cut chances.

Which way will this go?

That's a massive goal for Palace. They've stayed patient, good ingenuity from the set piece, just worked it short

Sarr has come onto it beautifully, no shortage of confidence. He keeps looking for it, keeps wanting the ball and this time there was no missing from there.

Ryan Yates goes for goal from range and why not, it worked earlier on in the night.

This time it doesn't come off, though.

Ismaila Sarr has to do better, again!

He gets his header all wrong from roughly 10 yards out after a lovely, clipped pass from Yeremi Pino.

I think Forest have been excellent. They weren't bad in the first tie but Midtjylland just got their noses in front.

With all the changes tonight, the flow and freedom they played with in the first half was a real breath of fresh air.

Stunning play from Lorenzo Lucca to take the ball down and produce a little backheel to try and create something for his side but the visitors can't break the Midtjylland defence down.

The first chance of extra time falls to Palace as Adam Wharton fires over with a half-volley on his weaker right foot.

Great running from Ola Aina, that same combination of Gibbs-White turning it over. Lucca was pushed offside. Good finish in the end, to no avail.

It sums the game up that he was pushed offside. Such a physical battle.

Almost the dream start!

Ola Aina drives forward down the right and cuts it back for Lorenzo Lucca but he's stumbled offside and the goal won't count.

Forest have played really well tonight so they will be disappointed that they're having to play extra time.

Vitor Pereira makes another change. On comes Ibrahim Sangare for Nicolas Dominguez.

For the hosts Adam Gabriel replaces Ousmane Diao.

And away we go.

Extra time is under way in Cyprus.

He's put the cavalry on at the end of the game and it wasn't enough. There only looks one team likely to win it – Palace, but we've been saying that all night.

This is the first time Nottingham Forest have gone to extra time in a European match since the 1983-84 European Cup quarter-final against Sturm Graz.

Lille were too neutral in the first leg at home considering the difficult time Asotn Villa are having right now in the Premier League. It felt very passive from the French side when they should have been on the front foot.

They missed a bit of an opportunity in that first leg. But just a one-goal deficit, they will believe if they score early they might get something, especially with Olivier Giroud up front.

Aston Villa captain John McGinn is determined his side will not be remembered as a “maybe team” as they hunt for Europa League glory.

Villa have had a memorable few years under boss Unai Emery, challenging at the top end of the Premier League and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

They are closing in on the quarter-finals of the Europa League this season, leading Lille 1-0 after the first leg of their last-16 tie, and McGinn says it is time to mark their story with some silverware.

“That’s what the manager has driven into us,” the Scotland midfielder said. “He’s a manager who has a reputation of not getting close to the finish line, he’s got a reputation of getting over the finish line.

“So we don’t want to be a maybe team. We don’t want to be a team like, ‘Aye, they were not bad’. We want something to show for it.

“And we know we’ve got an expectation and are one of the favourites to win the competition. We know that, but it’s up to us to deliver performances and results that prove why we’re one of the favourites because of how we’ve played over the last few years, domestically and in Europe.”
