THERE GOES THE FINAL WHISTLE!

Villa on course for an automatic spot in the UEFA Champions League last 16, but for RB Leipzig the campaign is over after a sixth straight defeat.

GOING TO BE FOUR ADDED MINUTES!

Are we done with the scoring for the evening? Has been an unpredictable match, but looks like Villa might have squeezed out the three points.

GAME RAGING FROM END TO END

Martinez forced to get down smart to make a fine stop from the Henrichs finish before he again stops from the Nusa shot after Rogers knocked into the side-netting on the break.

GOAL! RB LEIPZIG 2-3 ASTON VILLA (BARKLEY)

A fortunate goal as sub Barkley slips as he fires a shot at goal, but it takes a massive deflection off Klostermann before nestling in the home net. How lucky is that? But they all count.

OPENDA BLOWS CHANCE TO WIN IT FOR LEIPZIG!

Not sure what Pau Torres is doing. Gives the ball away under no pressure, but the Openda finish is straight into the arms of Martinez. He then drills the ball a yard or two over seconds later.

ANOTHER BOOKING FOR DISSENT!

Benjamin Henrichs picks up a booking for complaining about a decision. Silly stuff.

DURAN ALMOST THROUGH ON GOAL!

Looked offside that time, but should have released McGinn who was free in space. Play continues with Leipzig back in possession.

LEIPZIG KEEPER TO THE RESCUE!

Digne with a powerful hit after some nice play by McGinn and Rogers, but the finish is nudged wide by Gulácsi on the dive. Super save.

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR VILLA!

Cash departs the action for the visitors to be replaced by Kosta Nedeljkovic.

VILLA FANS STILL IN FULL VOICE

Probably to keep warm on a cold night as much as anything else. A draw wouldn't be a bad result for Villa tonight, but perhaps not for top eight and automatic qualification for the knock-out stage.

STATS YOUR MAN FOR THE BIG OCCASION

Duran seems to do all is best work when he arrives from the bench.

VILLA CAUGHT COLD IN DEFENCE

The visitors must be wondering how they are not ahead in this match. A crowd of 40,406 turning out tonight.

Christoph Baumgartner with a stunning finish on the volley from the chipped pass by Openda. Only their second shot of the night, and they are level at 2-2.

NOT A BAD FINISH FROM DURAN

What a fabulous finish from the Villa sub..

58'

Excellent low finish by Duran from the Cash cross as Villa appear to move 3-1 clear, but VAR confirms Cash went too early before he provided the assist.

DURAN MAKING A STATEMENT IN GERMANY

Mainly to ask why he was left out after scoring the winner against Southampton on Saturday.
