Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson, Ross Barkley and Tammy Abraham were all on target as Aston Villa put Fenerbahce to the sword in a 6-0 victory in the Champions League. Manzambi, making his first appearance in Europes elite competition on his 21st birthday, scored for the second time in three games for his new club in the 12th minute, slamming in a shot which deflected in off Milan Skriniar after a corner was headed down to him.Another summer signing was on hand shortly after at the other end as Zion Suzuki made two crucial stops to preserve Villas lead in the early stages of the match, before tipping another one onto the crossbar.Fenerbahce threatened, particularly through Mason Greenwood who was appearing in England for the first time since leaving Manchester United but Jackson put Villa in control with a quickfire brace before half-time.The former Chelsea striker scored with two simiarly ferocious finishes into the bottom left corner of the net for his fourth and fifth goals since his move to Villa Park.Villa went close through Ibrahim Mbaye on the break, with that front three alongside Jackson and Manzambi connecting superbly all night, with the hosts fairly comfortable in the second half despite spells of pressure from the visitors.The brilliant Manzambi was involved again as Villa grabbed the chance to make 4-0 from the penalty spot after weaving past Skriniar. Rather than Jackson taking the spotkick for his hat-trick, up stepped Barkley who whipped the penalty into the bottom corner.Barkley then had his second of the night and Villas fifth, rolling in from the edge of the box via another deflection for a performance which really looked like the true arrival of Unais Emerys new-look side.There was still time for Villa to add a sixth, as Alysson beat his man before finding fellow substitute Abraham to tap home into an empty net.Europa League winners Villa have taken maximum points on their Champions League return, having beaten Club Brugge 3-2 in their league phase opener.
