Aston Villa's winning run hit a bump on Thursday night as they lost 2-1 to Go Ahead Eagles in a rainy UEFA Europa League clash. The Villans, fresh off a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, were hoping to keep their momentum rolling, Softfootball reported. But the Dutch underdogs had other ideas.
Villa started strong. Just four minutes in, striker Evann Guessand tapped home his first goal for the club, giving the visitors an early lead.
Unai Emery's men dominated possession, creating chance after chance. But Go Ahead Eagles' goalkeeper, Jari De Busser, stood tall with a string of stunning saves to keep his team in the game.
