Making the quick trip across the pond, the Villans of Aston Villa downed Minnesota United 3-0 in an international friendly at Allianz Field. The visitors looked to start off their preseason tour with a win in front hundreds of faithful Villa fans who had made the trip to Saint Paul. Adrian Heath, made 11 changes to his side, naming a completely rotated starting XI to give the likes of Rasmus Schuller, Lawrence Olum, Brent Kallman and others some well-deserved minutes. In a frustrating 90 minutes for the Loons, the home side was unable to find the back of the net and wasn’t as aggressive as Heath may have wanted.
