Duran gives Aston Villa surprising victory over Bayern

Jhon Duran became hero as he came off the bench to give Aston Villa a magnificent victory over Bayern Munich.

In a repeat of the 1982 European Cup final, Villa rewrite the story with victory over the German giants. The English side won 1-0, a replica of the 1982 scoreline.

Duran came on in the 70th minute for Ollie Watkins and took only nine minutes to make his mark. The Columbian caught Bayern’s veteran keeper Manuel Neuer out of position with a composed lofted finish.

Unai Emery’s Villa continued their impressive start to their Champions League campaign after a 3-0 victory against Young Boys on matchday one.

Emery boys were eager to give their fans a good run for their return to the elite competition. The stadium erupted when Pau Torres turned in a close-range finish after 22 minutes only for the video assistant referee to intervene and rule it out for offside.

Villa keeper Emi Martinez also produced a stunning save from Kane and Gnabry in stoppage-time to keep Bayern at bay.

The Argentine earlier saved superbly from Michael Olise before the stunning stoppage-time to stops clinch a memorable victory.
