Aston Villa starlet scores first senior goal with Europa League winner
Aston Villa starlet Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba has opened his senior goalscoring account with a crucial winner in their Europa League win over RB Salzburg on Thursday evening.
Unai Emery's side endured a dismal start to their final league phase clash at Villa Park as Karim Konaté fired the visitors in front on the half hour mark.
Then, the Austrian outfit doubled their advantage shortly after the break through young midfielder Moussa Yeo.
When all appeared lost for Villa, substitute Morgan Rogers handed them a lifeline with 30 minutes left to play, before Tyrone Mings levelled the scoreline soon after.
But, the night belonged to Jimoh-Aloba with a goal made at Bodymoor Heath as he was set up for the winner by fellow academy talent Kadan Young.
The result means Villa finished second in the standings behind Lyon only on goal difference, and they progress into the knockout rounds without having to contest a play-off.
