McGinn strike earns Villa first victory of the season
The Independent
|September 26, 2025
John McGinn's first-half strike earned Aston Villa their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Bologna in their Europa League opener at Villa Park.
Unai Emery is looking to win this competition for a fifth time and the favourites to lift the trophy got their campaign up and running in a hard-fought contest.
Villa had only scored twice in their opening six games of the season, both away from home, but they finally grabbed a goal on their own patch courtesy of McGinn's pinpoint strike.
Ollie Watkins came off the bench and saw a penalty saved in the second half as the wait for his first goal of the campaign went on, while Marco Bizot made important saves to deliver a much-needed win.
And, following the departure of Villa's president of football operations, Monchi, this week, the team were at least able to give their supporters something to smile about.

Which EU airport is best to clear the biometric check?
With the new EU entry-exit system starting up in a just over two weeks, can you recommend stress-free, relatively quiet airports in the EU to go through the once-only fingerprinting/facial biometric process, with no long queues – which would also provide a late-autumn three-night break in a city of interest? It would be good to get the process done before travelling to more popular locations in the near future.

It's irresponsible and risky and negligent, and can literally cost lives. The actor Emma Watson has just been banned from driving on account of it, but don't worry too much, for she is truly “humbled”.
