Aston Villa sealed a dramatic 3-2 win over RB Leipzig, condemning them to a record sixth consecutive Champions League defeat.

Villa took an early lead through John McGinn’s composed finish, only for a mistake by Emiliano Martinez to gift Leipzig an equalizer.

Super-sub Jhon Duran made an immediate impact, curling in a stunning 25-yard strike to give Villa the lead.

Though Leipzig responded with another equalizer, Villa’s resilience paid off when a deflected Ross Barkley shot sealed the win, pushing Villa to third in the standings while Leipzig’s elimination looms.
