Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readIt may be a bit early for the pantomime season but the Holte End enjoyed acclaiming their heroes and villains as Aston Villa won at home for the first time this season with their biggest victory in European competition.
Every touch for Mason Greenwood, playing his first game in England since January 2022, was booed, but even louder applause was reserved for Aston Villa’s rediscovered attacking prowess.
Johan Manzambi celebrated his 21st birthday by opening the scoring on his first Champions League appearance, before Nicolas Jackson took the game beyond Fenerbahce’s reach with two more goals before half-time to help banish any fears about playing in front of the demolished North Stand.
