El Kaabi Double Gives Greek Side Advantage
Aston Villa suffered a shock 4-2 defeat to Olympiakos in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final at Villa Park on Thursday.

Lucas Digne pulled one back for Villa before the break, but El Kaabi completed his hat-trick early in the second half to restore Olympiakos' two-goal lead.
Philippe Coutinho equalised again for Villa, but Youssef El-Arabi scored a late winner for Olympiakos to give them a significant advantage heading into the second leg in Greece.
