The last ticket to the European competition was decided on the day of the Premier League's final match, and the three competing teams - Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford - all won their matches. In the end, Villa beat Tottenham Hotspur by one point and ranked 7th, making it to the European competition after 13 years.
Amery replaced Sherratt in October last year, when Villa were 17th and feared relegation, but the former Arsenal boss has transformed the team, beating Brighton 2-1 at home in Sunday's (28th) match to retain their 7th place in the UEFA Europa League and get a taste of Europe again since 2010 when they played in the UEFA Europa League play-offs.
