On October 2nd, 2025, Aston Villa secured a hard-fought victory over Feyenoord in the Europa League. The match was an entertaining affair, with both teams creating numerous chances throughout the game.
Villa took the lead in the 61st minute when Emiliano Buendia curled in a beautiful shot to give his side the advantage. The goal came after a controversial first half, which saw Villa aggrieved when Anel Ahmedhodzic brought down Ollie Watkins in the 13th minute, with the referee opting to only show a yellow card despite the apparent denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Villa's lead was doubled in the 79th minute when John McGinn slotted home after the ball was nudged into his path. The goal capped off a strong performance from the Villa captain, who has now scored three goals in three Europa League matches this season.
The victory leaves Villa third in the Europa League table, and with manager Unai Emery's proven track record in the competition, the club will be hoping this is the start of a successful European campaign.
