Fans say ‘what in the Sunday League is that?’ as Aston Villa gifted comical goal in first ever Champions League match

FANS were more amused than awe-struck as a bizarre goal stole the spotlight in Aston Villa's first-ever Champions League game.

Youri Tielemans struck the opener not long before a comical strike from Jacob Ramsey in the 38th minute.

A string of odd incidents led to that second goal, leaving one supporter asking: "What in the Sunday League is that?"

Defender Mohamed Ali Camara made the biggest blunder - with a terrible pass back to keeper David von Ballmoos in the middle of a crowded box.

The Swiss stopper then ended up booting Ollie Watkins, who tumbled over as he appeared to claim for a penalty.

And it was academy product Ramsey who had the only normal part in the strike - pouncing from close range to tap in.

One fan responded: "It's a messy goal - but he's one of our own."

Watkins then had a goal disallowed in first-half stoppage time.

Villa have never played in Europe's top club competition under its current format before.

And their last goal in the old European Cup was a quarter-final strike from Peter Withe in 1983 - their final season in that competition.
