Fiorentina are yet to have a shot on target in this match.

Bologna will likely be fuming with this scoreline.
They have been the better side for large periods.

Since the start of the second half Bologna have gone man for man at the back, two v two against Watkins and Rogers, and if you do that against top quality you will eventually get caught.
It's an absolutlely finish from Watkins, he gets one v one and slips it under the keeper from an acute angle.

William Gomes goes for power and pace at the near post but his low shot is wide.
Ollie Watkins (51 mins)
Aston Villa have had to ride their luck at times here but a two-goal advantage away from home looks very appealing.
The goal comes from a mistake as Torbjorn Heggem loses track of the ball under pressure from Emi Buendia and Ollie Watkins is there to mop up and slot into the far bottom corner.
Lovely finish.

The second half begins later than anticipated because more white toilet paper has been thrown on to the pitch.
It is finally cleared and there are no changes for either side.

Forest overplay too much in the final third. With men in the box waiting, put the ball in.

Rowe is giving Cash a hard time. Plenty of energy, twisting and turning. He made a 60-70 yard run just now and cash just couldn't stay with him.
Porto 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have made a couple of changes.
Murillo and Chris Wood make way for Nikola Milenkovic and Igor Jesus, who has scored seven goals so far in this competition making him the joint-top scorer.

Aston Villa lose the ball deep in Bologna's half and they got on a run down the left-hand side but Tommaso Pobega's effort is always rising and goes over the bar.

Bologna start on the front foot but Jonathan Rowe goes down on the edge of the area and the home fans fume as no free kick is given.

Palace in full control and a 3rd goal pretty much means a semi final is in sight. Just a bit quicker and more powerful than Fiorentina.

HT: Bologna 0-1 Aston Villa
Aston Villa have had just two shots, their fewest in the opening half of a Europa League game this season.
But, they did make one of them count.

I don't mind the idea of playing negative football away from home - ensure you stay in the tie for the home leg. It's a problem when you can't even do that well and doesn't bode well for the mood around Villa if it carries on.

In the first match of a two legged tie,particularly away from home, you sit back and stay as tight as you possibly can.
Villa have done that as much as they could, Bologna had the ball in the back of the net, but they were lucky to get away with that. Then the break, moments before the end.
For the last few minutes of the half Villa were the better side, for the rest it was Bologna. That's European football.
Porto 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have to happy with that. Struggling and a goal down after 11 minutes they have been much better since Martim Fernandes' bizarre own goal got them back on level terms.

It's been a great first half for Crystal Palace and the home fans at Selhurst Park.
