Aston Villa welcomed Bologna at Villa Park earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Europa League. The Villans made a decent start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 16th minute when Ollie Watkins found the back of the net. Emi Buendia doubled his team\u2019s advantage just ten minutes later. Morgan Rogers got his name on the scoresheet as well in the 39th minute as Unai Emery\u2019s men went into the half-time break 3-0 up on the scoreline.<\/p>\n
