Alex Moreno returned from a six-month injury lay-off to score the winner as Aston Villa beat Legia Warsaw and moved above them at the top of Europa Conference League Group E.

The Spanish defender was named in Unai Emery's starting XI for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in May, and was on hand to turn home Douglas Luiz's pinpoint free-kick for already-qualified Villa.

Emery's team had led through Moussa Diaby's first-half drive, before being pegged back as Ernest Muci took advantage of Boubacar Kamara's stray pass at the back.
