Aston Villa 1-0 Bayern Munich: Champions League report, team news and updates

Jhon Duran once again burst off the bench in dramatic fashion to give Aston Villa a magnificent victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League at a jubilant Villa Park.

In a match steeped in history and seen as a repeat of Villa's 1982 European Cup final victory over the German giants in Rotterdam, Duran ensured a repeat of that result with his fifth goal after coming on as a substitute this season had been.

Duran, who came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Ollie Watkins, needed just nine minutes to make his mark when he beat veteran Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer out of position with a confident high throw.

It was another triumph for Villa coach Unai Emery. This result continued his side's impressive start to the Champions League campaign after a 3-0 win against Young Boys in Switzerland in the opening game.

Villa Park was full of color and noise before kick-off as it hosted the competition for the first time in 41 years and welcomed Bayern striker Harry Kane and coach Vincent Kompany back to England.

The stadium erupted when Pau Torres scored from close range after 22 minutes, but the video assistant referee was able to intervene and rule the ball out for offside.

Chances were rare in a tight affair but 20-year-old Duran was once again the talisman, sending Villa Park wild before inspirational Villa keeper Emi Martinez made a stunning save from Kane in stoppage time to keep Bayern at bay.
