Buendía and McGinn the heroes as Villa fire past Forest to reach Europa League final

Aston Villa reached their first major European final since 1982, defeating Nottingham Forest to advance to the Europa League final in Istanbul. Emiliano Buendía converted a penalty approaching the hour mark, before John McGinn scored two near-identical first-time finishes within five minutes to seal the rout. Villa will face Freiburg in the final, seeking their first trophy since the 1996 League Cup, while the defeat ended Forest's 10-game unbeaten run.
