Aston Villa vs Fenerbahçe
Villa's rampant six-goal blitz floors Fenerbahçe
Aston Villa steamrolled their visitors with a clinical display punctuated by Jackson's brace and Barkley's double.
In a stunning turnaround that defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a Fenerbahçe win, Aston Villa delivered a dominant 6-0 thrashing in the UEFA Champions League. Jackson's two first-half goals set the tone, complemented by Manzambi's early strike and Barkley's penalty and follow-up after the break. Abraham capped the rout with a 90th-minute goal, sealing a comprehensive victory for the hosts.
