Youri Tielemans stunner puts Aston Villa ahead in Europa League final against Freiburg | OneFootball

Youri Tielemans struck late in the first half to give Aston Villa the lead in the Europa League final against Freiburg on Wednesday.

According to L'Équipe, Villa added a second just before the interval, with both goals arriving from corners.

From a rehearsed routine, Morgan Rogers created the opening to cross and Tielemans met it with a clean volley in the 41st minute.

Soon after, a poorly cleared corner produced a second phase. With Villa's defenders still advanced waiting for a cross that never came, Emiliano Buendia curled a left-footed shot into the far top corner on 45+3.

The Belgian's strike and Buendia's curler underlined Villa's set-piece precision at a crucial moment in the contest.
