Aston Villa put their domestic struggles behind them with a 3-2 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League yesterday.
The win in Belgium ended Villa’s winless and scoreless start to the 2026-27 campaign after a difficult opening to the Premier League season.
John McGinn scored the first goal of Villa’s Champions League campaign with a low finish from a tight angle in the 11th minute. Hugo Vetlesen equalised for Brugge, but Emiliano Buendia and Nicolas Jackson struck before half-time to give Villa a 3-1 lead at the break.
