Overview

• Emiliano Buendía and John McGinn scored second‑half goals in Rotterdam as Aston Villa beat Feyenoord 2-0 in the Europa League.
• Emi Martínez was withdrawn after a warm‑up calf issue and was replaced by Marco Bizot, who impressed with multiple key saves.
• Emery said he was proud of the response and noted a tactical reset at half-time that helped Villa control the second period.
• Martínez underwent a calf scan ahead of Sunday’s Burnley match, with his availability still unknown; kick-off at Villa Park is 2:00pm UK time.
• Villa have three straight wins across league and Europe after a poor start, with McGinn in form and described as increasingly influential.
