ASTON VILLA delivered a dream Champions League debut.
Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey struck in the first half before Amadou Onana drilled a late third at Young Boys.
Yet Ebrima Colley had forced Emi Martinez into a smart save as the Swiss hosts looked tidy moving forward in the first quarter of the match.
Gambian winger Colley twice threatened again as the Swiss hosts got even more on top.
But just after Villa started to win more possession they snatched the lead n 27 minutes.
Tielemans took the ball down deftly in a crowded box and drilled the ball into the far corner past turning backs and outstretched legs.
Ramsey soon doubled villa’s lead to confirm the growing maturity of their display – albeit punishing a dreadful backpass.
Ollie Watkins had a goal ruled out on the stroke of half-time.
But Onana was left in plenty of space to round off a comprehensive victory.
And Ollie Watkins had a goal ruled out in first-half stoppage time.
