However, Villa gradually grew into the game and made their first breakthrough in the 27th minute when Tielemans coolly slotted home from a crowded box.

The English side doubled their lead shortly after, with Jacob Ramsey capitalizing on a sloppy backpass to extend Villa’s advantage.

Ollie Watkins had a goal disallowed just before half-time.

However, Amadou Onana sealed the win in the 86th minute, finding the net with a well-taken shot to make it 3-0.
