It was a deserving win for them but they had to really put in the effort to get the win actually, it did not come easily for them. I did expected more Aston Villa actually because they were the hosting side, they had the opportunity to win like a host and the bigger side but then they win eventually and that is what matters the most, but I must say with this kind of performance, they may not have a chance at the europa this season if they do not get improved.
Aston Villa was lucky to secure the win tonight because it's not easy to defend 1 goal the early minutes that the goal was scored to the full-time, Bologna didn't utilize their chances they should have equalize the goal cause at some point they were dominating the game but the home team defended and made sure they sealed the victory with the goal they managed to score. Aston Villa needs to get better in performance because when they progress to the level where they will meet a better opponent they can't win games with the performance they displayed against Bologna.
