Jhon Durán built on a five-goal advantage for Unai Emery’s side by sweeping home early on from Pau Torres’ defence-splitting pass.

The hosts doubled their tally on the evening courtesy of Omari Kellyman picking out Leon Bailey for a curling effort.

Bailey’s second-half free kick led to a third as David Marshall fumbled the set piece into the path of Matty Cash to fire past him.

Villa will learn their Conference League group fate on Friday ahead of this weekend’s Premier League trip to Liverpool.
