Double delight as Villa's Malen opens account for the season in win over Burnley
Donyell Malen scored his first two goals of the season to help Aston Villa secure a 2-1 win over Burnley, marking their fourth consecutive victory under Unai Emery.
- On Sunday at Villa Park, Donyell Malen scored twice to give Aston Villa a 2-1 win, making the most of a rare Premier League start.
- After an indifferent start, Aston Villa went winless in their opening six matches, prompting questions over Unai Emery, but Europa League wins and a league victory over Fulham sparked a turnaround.
- Boubacar Kamara's arcing through ball opened the move that led to the 25th-minute opener, and Morgan Rogers provided the assist with a precise pass from the edge of the box.
- The result lifted Villa to 13th, moving Aston Villa to nine points, five clear of Burnley in 18th, and extended their winning run to four matches after a six-game winless spell.
- Aston Villa face Tottenham Hotspur on October 19 after the international break, while Burnley play Leeds United at home on October 18 before traveling to Wolverhampton Wanderers on October 26.
