Aston Villa were not at their best in Emilia-Romagna, but it mattered not. Goals from Ezri Konsa and an Ollie Watkins double gave Unai Emery's side the advantage heading back to the Midlands.

FT: Bologna 1-3 #AVFC A huge third goal. Big win for Villa away from home. Very much second best and were not comfortable at any point, yet found a way to score three goals. Quite astonishing and funny. Villa and Emery won't mind - it's the result that matters and it's a big one

Pretty hilarious, to be fair. Another corner, #AVFC don't deal with it and Bologna, having been on top again, allow Watkins to tap it home from two yards. huge goal in the contest. 3-1

Jonathan Rowe finally gets his goal. Cuts inside Matty Cash and into the bottom corner. Best performance I've seen from an opposition player in some time. 2-1 #AVFC

Bailey and Maatsen replace Morgan Rogers (who has been booked) and Emi Buendia. Maatsen to move just in front of Digne, while Bailey has to be diligent in helping Cash out with Rowe. #AVFC

“Sancho is not going to be out for a long time, but he is still out. In a few days or one or two weeks, he is coming back. He is progressing well”. Unai Emery @J_Tanswell #AVFC

Bologna hit the woodwork again and are starting to rally once more. Lamare Bogarde is coming on. He replaces Amadou Onana. #AVFC
