Aston Villa's long-standing struggle in front of goal finally eased as they found the net three times away at Club Brugge, according to BBC News.
The victory, however, was far from comfortable. Despite ending their goal-shy spell with a rare show of clinical finishing, Villa had to work hard to see off a resilient Brugge side and secure the win.
The result marks a notable shift for a team that has been criticised in recent weeks for failing to convert chances, and this performance in Belgium could serve as a springboard for renewed confidence going forward — though BBC News stresses the match itself was anything but a routine stroll.
