John McGinn scored again as Aston Villa continued their winning run with an entertaining victory over Feyenoord in the Europa League.
Villa began their European campaign last week without a win in six games.
But three goals in three matches from their captain have helped them secure back-to-back wins in the Europa League either side of a first victory in the Premier League.
McGinn slotted home Villa’s second in Rotterdam after the ball was nudged into his path when Donyell Malen sprinted into the area but was halted by three Feyenoord players.
Emiliano Buendia opened the scoring in the 61st minute with a curled finish after what had been an end-to-end first half filled with controversial decisions.
Unai Emery’s side were aggrieved when Anel Ahmedhodzic brought down Ollie Watkins in the 13th minute with the striker bearing down on goal.
The Swedish defender was shown a yellow card for the challenge and referee Rade Obrenovic was advised to review the incident at the monitor to potentially upgrade to red.
However, the Slovenian official opted to stick with his original decision, despite Ahmedhodzic appearing to deny Watkins a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Villa may also have considered themselves lucky not to be 1-0 down when Ayase Ueda’s first-half header clearly crossed the goal line, despite Marco Bizot’s efforts to claw it away.
However, the goal was not given because of a foul on Matty Cash in the box.
Victory leaves Villa third in the Europa League table and, with boss Unai Emery a four-time winner of the competition, they will hope this is the beginning of a successful campaign in Europe.
