"The whole of the ground took to their feet and cheered the Belgian's name more loudly than anyone else's as he made his return after two months out with an ankle injury."
"Villa were also the only team in the top seven to win in the Premier League this weekend and a glance down their substitutes' list suggests they can continue to prosper in Europe."
"How McGinn and Tielemans, and the still injured Boubacar Kamara, have been missed during this hiccup of a spell. But the return of the former pairing bodes well."
Aston Villa ended a three-game losing streak in the Premier League, securing a top-four position. Ollie Watkins scored, while Youri Tielemans received a warm welcome upon returning from injury. John McGinn contributed with a goal, showcasing the squad's depth and potential for Champions League qualification. Villa is five points ahead of Liverpool and was the only top-seven team to win this weekend.
