Tammy Abraham's late winner helps Aston Villa survive a late Sunderland fightback and give Unai Emery's side a crucial 4-3 victory in their quest for Champions League football next season.

The Red Devils have set their sights on a "world-class" manager, despite the 1-0 victory against Chelsea on Saturday.

The finish was chaotic, brilliant, exhausting but, when the dust settles, this perhaps was the afternoon when Aston Villa made a decisive spurt for the finish line to claim Champions League qualification. As Tammy Abraham touched in the winner three minutes into injury-time, Unai Emery ran on to the pitch in celebration. Yet just a minute earlier Habib Diarra had been set clean through with a chance of his own to win it. Emi Martínez, though, stretched up to save his dink, and the road was cleared for the Villa winner. “We need strikers and goalkeepers,” said Emery. “It was the match – three points for them and no three points for us.”
