Emiliano Buendia missed a late penalty as Aston Villa were stunned in a 2-1 loss to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League.

Villa’s lead arrived within just four minutes when Evann Guessand scored his first goal for the club but Mathis Suray and Mats Deijl, taking advantage of the high line played by the visitors on both occasions, completed the comeback for the Eagles.

Unai Emery’s side had the perfect opportunity to pull themselves back into contention with just over 10 minutes to go in the fixture when Matty Cash’s cross struck the arm of Dean James inside the area, only for Buendia to send the spot-kick over the bar and into the stands.
