Aston Villa secured a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League, with goals from Mc Ginn, Buendia, and Jackson. The match saw early drama as Mc Ginn opened the scoring with a lovely side-footed finish. Brugge equalized through Vetlesen, but Villa responded quickly when Buendia tapped in after good work from Gomes.

Jackson then extended the lead with a superb strike past Sommer. Brugge pulled one back from the penalty spot via Tresoldi after a handball, but Villa held on. Late chances saw Tresoldi hit the post and Bogarde denied by a clearance, securing the win for Villa.
