More than a respectable result. 3-0 doesn’t look great, but to put it into perspective: Freiburg (7th in BL) yearly payroll approx €55 million. Aston Villa (4th in EPL) €166 million in wages. AVFC spent 3x the amount of the 7th place BL team to win Europa League. Congrats?
Aston Villa will face SC Freiburg in the Europa League final on Wednesday night in Istanbul. The match offers the English club a chance at their first European trophy in 44 years.
Ryan Sessegnon fired home the only goal as Fulham defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. The 25-year-old marked his new contract extension with the 43rd-minute strike, boosting Fulham's push for European qualification. Aston Villa slipped to fifth place, level on points with Liverpool and Manchester United.
