Former Arsenal coach Unai Emery has taken Aston Villa straight into the UEFA Europa Conference League, their first Europan qualification for the Birmingham-based side since the 2010-11 season! Villa did it at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur, who dismantled Leeds United and sent them down to the EFL Championship with a 4-1 away win but failed to reach Europe for the first time after 14 years.The 2022/23 mission is complete. ✅🔜 @EuropaCNFLeague pic.twitter.com/ScMNBcLyYc— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) May 28, 2023 Ahead of the decisive 90 minutes, Aston Villa were a point clear of the Spurs and scored two early on against Brighton at home to put away all the pressure from their shoulders. The visitors – who will also represent England in the next year’s ECL – scored one in the second half for a 2-1 loss, which meant there’s no chance Tottenham could leapfrog Villa and grab a last-gasp ECL ticket despite an atrocious Premier League season. 🚨 GOAL | Leeds 1-4 Tottenham | Lucas Mourapic.twitter.com/vbTuVm00kx— VAR Tático (@vartatico) May 28, 2023 Harry Kane and his crew thumped Leeds at Elland Road 4-1, but the epilogue of the Villa Park tie prevented them from any further celebration, as the Spurs will miss out on European football for the first time since the 2009-10 season.We end our campaign with a victory 🤍 pic.twitter.com/6wmdx2b25t— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) May 28, 2023 Meanwhile, Kane equalled an impressive Premier League record set by Andy Cole thanks to his today’s brace.His 31 goals in this EPL season equals Cole’s record in the 1993/94 season with Newcastle.PREMIER LEAGUE – FINAL DAYSundayArsenal – Wolves 5-0 (3-0)/Xhaka 11, 14, Saka 27, Jesus 58, Kiwior 78/Aston Villa – Brighton 2-1 (2-1)/Douglas Luiz 8, Watkins 26 – Undav 38/Brentford – Manchester City 1-0 (0-0)/Pinnock 86/Chelsea – Newcastle 1-1 (1-1)/Trippier 27 og – Gordon 9/Crystal Palace – Nottingham 1-1 (0-1)/Hughes 66 – Awonyiyi 31/Everton – Bournemouth 1-0 (0-0)/Doucoure 57/Leeds – Tottenham 1-4 (0-1)/Harrison 69 – Kane 2, 69, Porro 47, Moura 90+5/Leicester – West Ham 2-1 (1-0)/Barnes 34, Faes 62 – Ings 79/Manchester United – Fulham 2-1 (1-1)/Sancho 39, Fernandes 55 – Tete 19/Southampton – Liverpool 4-4 (2-2)/Ward-Prowse 19, Sulemana 28, 48, Armstrong 65 – Diogo Jota 10, 73, Firmino 14, Gakpo 72/
