Villa put six past Fenerbahce in record rout
Unai Emery's side recorded their biggest ever European victory with a 6-0 win to maintain their 100% start in the Champions League.
Aston Villa's Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick as the team recorded their largest European win to date, defeating Fenerbahce 6-0 in a Champions League match at Villa Park. Unai Emery's side opened the scoring in the 12th minute through Manzambi, who capitalized on a loose ball. Jackson added two more goals in the first half, the third coming from a low strike from 18 yards.
Barkley scored twice in the second half, one from the penalty spot after a foul on Manzambi. Tammy Abraham sealed the victory with a late goal in stoppage time. The win was a stark contrast to Villa's recent struggles, including a 1-0 loss to Club Brugge in their opening Champions League match. The home crowd, currently limited by stadium renovations, had been a source of concern for Emery.
Despite this, the team responded with intensity, extending their unbeaten run to four games across all competitions.
