Aston Villa maintained their perfect start to the season with a convincing victory over Bologna, thanks to goals from John McGinn and Jhon Durán. After McGinn opened the scoring with a free-kick that caught everyone off guard, the scoreboards in the stadium briefly malfunctioned, displaying a fictional 3-0 lead for Villa, a nod to the captain's impressive form.
