Aaron Wan-Bissaka concedes penalty in full Aston Villa debut against Club Brugge
Summary

Aaron Wan-Bissaka made his full debut for Aston Villa during the club's 3-2 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League. The defender, on loan from West Ham United, conceded a penalty for handball and was substituted after 68 minutes. John McGinn, Emi Buendia, and Nicolas Jackson scored for Aston Villa as the team secured its first win of the season. Manager Unai Emery selected the 28-year-old following a muscle injury to Matty Cash. While Wan-Bissaka recorded 47 touches and a 92 per cent pass completion rate, his performance drew criticism for a lack of attacking threat compared to substitute Lamare Bogarde. The club continues to balance domestic fixtures with its European schedule as Wan-Bissaka seeks to establish himself at Villa Park.
