Villa put six past Fenerbahce in record rout

Aston Villa secured their largest-ever European victory, overcoming Fenerbahce 6-0 in the Champions League match at Villa Park. Nicolas Jackson and Vedat Muriqi gave Villa an early lead, while Ross Barkley added a second-half brace and Tammy Abraham sealed the win with a late goal. Unai Emery's side maintained their perfect start in the elite competition and extended their unbeaten run to four games across all competitions.

The victory came after a turbulent summer, with key players departing the club. Despite suggestions that a smaller crowd and reduced noise might have affected Villa's performance, manager Emery emphasized that there were no excuses for failing to win their previous three home games.
