Aston Villa rose above the noise on a tense night at Villa Park to record a routine 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv and continue their impressive start to the Europa League campaign.
The hosts were slow to start as protests raged outside the ground, but Ian Maatsen found the back of the net on the stroke of half-time to set them on their way. Donyell Malen added a second from 12 yards after the break to confirm Maccabi went home empty-handed.
