Aston Villa Hit Fenerbahçe for Six in Record UEFA Champions League Win

Aston Villa recorded their biggest-ever European victory on Wednesday evening, thrashing Fenerbahçe 6-0 at Villa Park to maintain their perfect start to the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League.

Nicolas Jackson and Ross Barkley both scored twice, while Johan Manzambi and Tammy Abraham also found the net as Unai Emery’s side moved up to third in the Champions League league phase standings.

Following their opening 3-2 victory over Club Brugge, Villa now have six points from their first two European fixtures and will look to continue that impressive form when Norwegian side Viking FK visit Villa Park next week.

Jackson Double Gives Villa Commanding First-Half Lead

Villa made an excellent start against the Turkish giants, taking the lead after just 12 minutes when Johan Manzambi’s shot deflected off Milan Škriniar and into the net. It was a memorable moment for the midfielder, who marked his 21st birthday and Champions League debut with a goal.

Fenerbahçe threatened an equaliser through Vedat Muriqi, but Villa doubled their advantage in the 31st minute when Nicolas Jackson collected a pass from Boubacar Kamara before beating Ederson with a low finish.

The visitors briefly threatened again when Oğuz Aydın struck the crossbar, although Jackson soon put the result beyond serious doubt with his second goal in the 39th minute.

His clinical finish gave Emery’s side a 3-0 advantage at half-time, leaving Fenerbahçe facing a difficult task to recover.

Barkley Scores Twice as Villa Complete Historic Victory

Villa continued to dominate after the interval and added a fourth goal in the 68th minute when Ross Barkley converted a penalty following a foul on Manzambi.

The midfielder doubled his tally just four minutes later, finding the net with a deflected effort from outside the penalty area to make it 5-0.

Substitute Tammy Abraham completed the scoring in the 90th minute, finishing from close range after being set up by Alysson to secure a remarkable six-goal victory.

The result also marked Villa’s 11th consecutive home victory in European competition, continuing an impressive record under Emery despite a less convincing start to their domestic campaign.

Aston Villa Prepare for Viking Following Bayern Munich Thriller

Villa’s next Champions League assignment comes on Wednesday 21st October, when Norwegian champions Viking FK travel to Villa Park looking to build on an impressive result against Bayern Munich.

Viking held the German giants to a dramatic 3-3 draw on Tuesday evening, having taken a surprise 2-0 lead before Bayern fought back to move 3-2 ahead.

However, Michael Olise’s second-half dismissal gave the Norwegian side renewed hope, and Herman Haugen headed home a 90th-minute equaliser to secure a memorable point.

With Villa currently third in the Champions League table and Viking having already demonstrated their ability to trouble leading European opposition, next Wednesday’s fixture promises another interesting encounter.

Following their six-goal victory over Fenerbahçe, Villa will be targeting a third successive Champions League win in front of their home supporters.
