Aston Villa run riot in record-breaking win over Fenerbahce as Mason Greenwood taunted on UK return

Mason Greenwood faced a humiliating return to English football as Aston Villa dismantled Fenerbahce 6-0 in a record-breaking Champions League victory. The 25-year-old played his first match back in the UK following his January 2022 suspension from Manchester United, enduring heckling from home fans at Villa Park. Johan Manzambi opened the scoring on his 21st birthday, with Nicolas Jackson quickly adding two more goals to give Villa a 3-0 halftime lead.

Ross Barkley added a second-half brace before Tammy Abraham sealed the win with a late goal, delighting the Prince of Wales in the stands. This was Aston Villa's largest ever European triumph and their first home victory of the season, positioning them strongly in the Champions League standings with two wins in two matches.
