Aston Villa continued our impressive run of form on Saturday after securing a 2-1 win over Manchester City at Villa Park. A brace from Nicolas Jackson fired us to victory, but it was a brilliant all-round performance from the team, led by Unai Emery with another tactical masterclass.

Aston Villa secured a 3-1 win over Viking in the Champions League on Wednesday night as we made it three wins in three to start our European campaign this season. Ross Barkley’s header put us ahead in the first half with Emiliano Buendia doubling our lead from the penalty spot before the break. Having won that penalty for us, Alysson then forced an own goal in the second half to cap off an excellent performance, and although our visitors pushed and grabbed a consolation goal in the latter stages, this was a comfortable victory for Villa to extend our impressive start in this competition.

Aston Villa’s upturn in form continued this weekend as we secured a 1-0 win at Newcastle United, courtesy of Johan Manzambi’s first-half header.

Aston Villa were held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford on Saturday, with mixed feeling at the full-time whistle.
