ASTON VILLA BEAT BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – Thanks to a brilliant late Jhon Duran goal
Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran’s late lob over Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to earn a 1-0 win in the Champions League was a pre-planned tactic, the English Premier League side’s manager Unai Emery said.
Duran electrified Villa Park with his 79th-minute goal, receiving a long ball then hooking it over Neuer who had come off his line as he did often in the game. It was Duran’s fifth goal as a substitute this season.
The win left Villa with two wins out of two in the new Champions League format consisting of a 36-team league in the first phase
