[Post Match Thread] Aston Villa 4-2 Celtic (Champions League)
My man Rogers getting us the hattick, 3 points, +2 GD and into the Top 8 of the Champions League! This means two less games, and we'll play again in this competition in March. Huge feat to make it Top 8 in our first season. Villa started the game very well, Rogers scored twice, first one converting a Ramsey cross, second by a lovely long-shot. Celtic fought back in the second half as Idah scored two goals after mistakes from the Villa defence. In the second half we finally got there Watkins scored. Missed a pen but then set up a third. Another minus that came in the game was that Cash did pick up an injury which is another defensive injury. Duran never came on basically confirming his transfer this week.
MOTM. Rogers for scoring a hattrick comes to mind! Bailey for playing well at times, good passing and better performance then we've seen. Kamara, my man! What a performance at the back, not his natural position and did very well.
Like mentioned we made top 8! It was close though. Lille came out of nowhere to win 6-1 against Feyenoord this overcame a huge GD deficit to us. But thankfully, Barca came in clutch and got us the result after drawing 2-2 to Atalanta.
