Aston Villa hit Fenerbahce for six in big win at Villa Park

Match report as Aston Villa were big winners on the return of Champions League football to Villa Park; Fenerbahce were beaten 6-0 with Nicolas Jackson and Ross Barkley scoring two each for Unai Emery’s team as Johan Manzambi also scored in fine display

Aston Villa dismantled Fenerbahce with Nicolas Jackson and Ross Barkley scoring two each in a 6-0 Champions League win at Villa Park.

The impressive Johan Manzambi opened the scoring when his shot was deflected in off Fenerbahce captain Milan Skriniar to leave Ederson stranded and although Villa needed goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to save well from Vedat Muriqi it was all but over by the break.

Jackson's two first-half goals, both arrowed to Ederson's right, put Unai Emery's side three up by half-time. Fenerbahce's fans continued to chant away but there was no way back on what proved a comfortable night for Vila in front of the Prince of Wales.

The Turkish squad is packed with familiar names. Nathan Ake started, Romelu Lukaku came on, while Mason Greenwood's every touch was booed. But they had nobody with the exuberance of Manzambi or indeed the 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye out wide.
