Aston Villa manager Unai Emery picked his son for their final game of the Premier League season.

The Midlands club, who finished fourth in the Premier League, were spanked 5-0 by Crystal Palace.

Emery did not appear to take the game too seriously, naming his 21-year-old son on the matchday squad.

Lander Emery, who is a goalkeeper, played six games for the club's Premier League 2 team this season.

He conceded 15 goals in those games and kept only a single clean sheet, but still got on the senior bench.

Lander was on the books of Valencia for a time, before arriving at Villa as a free agent.
