We asked for your views after Aston Villa beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate to reach the final of the Europa League.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: What a fantastic team performance. Every single player put in a shift. McGinn covered every blade of grass. Emery, the backroom staff, the players and especially the electric Villa fans deserve this moment - everyone has worked so hard to get there. As an 11 year old I was allowed to stay up and watch Villa's European Cup win over Bayern. Some 44 years later I will definitely be watching Villa in a European final again.

Steve: Wow they say a week is a long time in football. After one of the worst performances on Sunday this was one of the best in living memory. Brilliant support, fantastic application by the players - we never stopped pressing and chasing. Watkins and Buendia were outstanding. Istanbul won't know what's hit them!

Mike: I've followed Villa for over 40 years and had almost given up hope of ever seeing them in a European final but here we are on the edge of cup glory and I couldn't be happier. What a total turnaround from the last couple of games and what a time to turn in the performance of the season. Emery's tactics were spot on giving Watkins, Rogers and McGinn free range to stamp their authority on the game. The fans also played their part fully earning their reputation as the 12th man. The final will be a historic.
