Entering the final 15
Aston Villa have 15 minutes left to rescue something at Jan Breydel Stadium.
It’s not looking likely as it stands, with Jhon Duran having hardly touched the ball since replacing John McGinn.
Elsewhere, Shakhtar still lead Young Boys 2-1.
From Graeme Bryce at Jan Breydel Stadium
OMG!
Villa have conceded one of the craziest goals in the club’s 150 year history – from their own goal kick!
Martinez rolled the ball to Mings who picked the ball up and placed it in the corner of the six yard box to presumably take it himself.
But credit the razor-sharp Brugge players who spotted an opportunity and frantically claimed for a penalty for handball.
German referee Robias Stieler agreed Mings should have known the ball was in play and penalised Villa’s comeback man who couldn’t believe his misfortune.
Hans Vanaken calmly sent Martinez the wrong way from the spot and Brugge find themselves ahead in the most bizarre circumstances.

Here are some pictures of Mings’ crucial gaffe.
Was this the correct decision?
