Prince William, a lifelong Villa supporter, was seen punching the air as he celebrated Duran’s incredible winner and the heir to the throne managed to catch up with Emery in the aftermath of the drama.

Aston Villa wrote another page of their European history on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Bayern Munchen to make it two wins from a possible two in the UEFA Champions League for the Villans. Substitute Jhon Duran came on with 20 minutes to go having already scored four times off the bench already this season to secure the three points at Villa Park with an instinctive finish past Manuel Neuer.
