Almost no one can handle Aston Villawhich is going like a rocket in all competitions, including the Champions League, a competition in which it has made a perfect start after beating Bologna 2-0 with goals from Jhon Durán and John McGinn, the protagonists of another three points that The English team added to reach a total of nine out of a possible nine.

Unai Emery has reasons to smile. Their presentation in the top continental tournament is perfect, three games and three wins. They have not conceded goals in any of their three games, they convince with their football and win.

Like at Anfield on the second day, Bologna had good moments without a reward. This course of the transalpine team is the ‘must’, which does not translate its dominance into good results. He failed again and AVilla woke up with the insistence of Leon Bailey from the right side and with the inspiration of Youri Tielemans, McGinn and Amadou Onana, who took control of the duel.

However, Aston Villa did not take advantage of their options either. They were left at zero when they deserved to go into the break ahead on the scoreboard. Durán and McGinn came close to scoring, but Lukasz Skorupski sustained Bologna with two interventions in a one-on-one match against the Colombian and a poisoned screw from the Scotsman. The Polish goalkeeper gave extra life to his teammates, who still had 45 minutes ahead of them to take command again and try not to waste their few options.

The film was repeated after the resumption. Once again Bologna came out strong. And again, he missed his chance, in the boots of Stefan Posch, who wasted a very clear approach from behind that ended with the ball far from ‘Dibu’ Martínez’s goal.

McGinn, with a stroke of luck, finally opened the scoring with half an hour remaining. The Scottish midfielder launched a free kick into the heart of the area, no one among the crowd of players waiting for his cross touched the ball and it ended up hitting the nets of the goal defended by Skorupski. And there, it was all over. Bologna took a knee and Durán gave the final touch in the 64th.
