After a 41-year absence from Europe’s top club competition, Aston Villa are back in the big time – and in some style.
On an evening when Villa supporters paid tribute to late club legend Gary Shaw, Unai Emery's team delivered a performance the former striker and his fellow 1982 European Cup winners would have been proud of to defeat Swiss champions Young Boys 3-0 in Bern.
Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey and Amadou Onana got the goals on a comfortable night for the visitors, who would have won by a greater margin had Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran not had efforts disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR).
