Lucas Digne sealed Aston Villa's victory with a dramatic late goal, solidifying their hold on a Champions League position and rendering Luton Town's comeback futile.
Initially, Villa dominated the game with Ollie Watkins scoring twice in the first half. Despite an offside call initially disallowing Watkins' second goal, it was later awarded following a VAR review.
Luton, who struggled to pose a threat in the first half, displayed a renewed vigor after halftime. They managed to claw their way back into the game with goals from Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris.
However, Villa ultimately capitalized on their opportunities, with Digne heading in a cross from Moussa Diaby to secure the win.
With this victory, Villa now sit comfortably in fourth place, maintaining an 11-point lead over Manchester United in sixth, with a Champions League spot for next season within reach.
Watkins' outstanding performance further underlined his importance to Villa's campaign, as he continues to excel with both goals and assists, being a key figure in the Premier League this season.
Meanwhile, Luton, despite their valiant efforts, are still battling to avoid relegation in their debut Premier League season since the 1992 rebrand, showing resilience despite facing challenges such as injuries and tough competition.
