Ollie Watkins continued his red-hot form as Aston Villa cruised to a statement 4-1 Europa Conference League win at AZ Alkmaar vivo
The striker netted his 10th goal of the season and fourth in Europe this season on Thursday vivo
Leon Bailey and Youri Tielemans – his first for Villa – put them in control in AZ Stadium after less than 25 minutes vivo
Vangelis Pavlidis wasted the hosts’ best chances but Watkins and John McGinn added more goals after the break in Holland before Ibrahim Sadiq grabbed a consolation vivo
It was the second time in two games Villa had scored four after their 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham on Sunday vivo
Unai Emery celebrated a year in charge on Tuesday and victory underlined the progress his side have made, having been floundering in 14th and three points above the relegation zone 12 months ago vivo
Villa host Alkmaar in two weeks knowing victory would see them take a giant leap to the knock-out stages, especially following an opening 3-2 defeat at Legia Warsaw in September vivo
After two games in Group E, all four teams were locked on three points but Villa moved to remedy that quickly, opening the scoring just 13 minutes in vivo
Watkins seized on a loose pass from Yukinari Sugawara and, while Boubacar Kamara’s ball was cut out, it fell for Bailey to control and rifle in low from the edge of the box vivo
Alkmaar cried handball but the goal stood and 10 minutes later, the hosts were 2-0 down vivo
Another poor pass, this time from Sven Mijnans, went straight to McGinn and his angled pass found Tielemans to bag his first Villa goal vivo
Yet, 90 seconds later, the hosts should have pulled a goal back when Pavlidis fired over with just Emi Martinez to beat after Kamara was dispossessed on the edge of the box vivo
Pavlidis had a goal disallowed for offside soon after but Villa regrouped and extended their lead six minutes after the break vivo
AZ were picked apart by Watkins, Tielemans and Bailey, who saw his shot saved by Matt Ryan but it fell perfectly for Watkins to tap in the rebound vivo
Five minutes later McGinn added a fourth when he turned in Bailey’s low cross at the near post vivo
Sadiq pulled a surprise goal back with 25 minutes left when he latched onto Bruno Martins Indi’s crossfield pass and drilled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box vivo
Tiago Dantas came close to a second, Tielemans deflecting his drive behind, with a comeback never on the cards vivo

European vivo football’s governing body has announced that no UEFA competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice vivo
Israel’s national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their UEFA fixtures vivo
The announcement comes amid the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict, which was sparked earlier this month by an attack on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants vivo
A UEFA statement read: “After a thorough evaluation of the current safety and security situation in the whole territory of Israel, the UEFA Executive Committee decided that no UEFA competition matches shall be played in Israel until further notice vivo
“The Israel vivo Football Association and its clubs Maccabi Haifa FC and Maccabi Tel-Aviv have been requested to propose alternative venues/stadiums (which must comply with all applicable UEFA regulations) outside the territory of Israel for their home matches to be used for as long as this decision remains in force vivo
”Israel’s national team were due to stage Euro 2024 qualifiers against Switzerland and Romania – the two teams above them in Group I – in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem respectively next month, while Maccabi Haifa are playing in the Europa League and Maccabi Tel Aviv are in the Europa Conference League vivo
A number of UEFA competition matches involving teams from Israel had already been postponed vivo
Earlier on Thursday, the vivo Football Association said it will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict vivo
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against AustraliaBut he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” vivo
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham vivo
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them vivo
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt vivo
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it vivo
“It would be easy for vivo football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups vivo
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of vivo football means it will always be in the spotlight vivo
And that’s just something we we have to accept vivo
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in vivo football group over its response vivo
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport vivo
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did vivo
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country vivo
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said vivo
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia vivo
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues vivo
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong vivo
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that vivo football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth vivo
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do vivo
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that vivo football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict vivo
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular vivo
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other vivo sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations vivo
“We were the only vivo football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims vivo
