Aston Villa repeated their famous 1982 European Cup final win over Bayern Munich as Jhon Duran's winner beat the German giants 1-0 on Wednesday.

The Colombian striker caught Manuel Neuer off his line 11 minutes from time to make it two wins from two games for Villa in their first experience of Champions League football for 41 years.

Bayern arrived at Villa Park unbeaten and in free-scoring form since Vincent Kompany took charge.

But the visitors were stifled by Unai Emery's gameplan and caught out when Duran latched onto Pau Torres' long pass and fired over Neuer from long range.
