So, Aston Villa's spot in next season's UEFA Champions League was already secured before tonight, but their triumph in the Europa League final will have delighted Bournemouth and Brighton.
Both the Cherries and the Seagulls still need Villa to lose to Manchester City on Sunday whilst Liverpool beat Brentford if sixth place is to be rewarded with UEFA Champions League football.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Tielemans said: "We only had one day to practice we did it on Monday and it went brilliantly tonight. So happy.
"It's amazing. It's been a season with a lot of ups and downs. We started so so bad. Our standards were very poor.
"The way we turned things around was a credit to the players and staff.
We kept working, believing. We got the win in the end, UEFA Champions League next season and a trophy.

Unai Emery has his fifth Europa League crown and 44 years on from that famous night in Rotterdam, Aston Villa are triumphant on the European stage again.
The Villans were simply a cut above their German opponents and while it required some Youri Tielemans magic to carve Freiburg open, it was only a matter of time before their authority yielded a goal.
Emiliano Buendia's stunning strike made it two before the half-time interval and the second half was a procession, wrapped up by Morgan Rogers' finish.
It was a masterclass from Emery and Villa were superior in every department.

Slightly awkward moment for Martinez as he's forced to rush out to retrieve a long ball and looks to have handled the ball outside the penalty area, but the linesman had his flag up for offside.

Johan Manzambi does excellently to dispossess Youri Tielemans in his own half and feeds Matanovic. The Croatian returns the ball to the advancing midfielder and he strikes a low drive at goal which Martinez comfortably saves.
