Aston Villa European journey off to perfect start as they head to Burnley in Premier League

A European rewind and a look ahead to Burnley in the Premier League.

00:00 Charlie, looking at Aston Villa, obviously you yourself went as part of their European

00:04 journey has begun now. What was that like and what can Villa fans get used to being

00:12 in Europe now? It's a whole different ball game, isn't it?

00:15 It was a strange one because it didn't really feel like much of a European game given the

00:19 golfing quality between Hibs and Villa. 5-0, a hat-trick of goals for Ollie Watkins, a

00:24 hat-trick of headers in the game, two for Watkins and one for Leon Bailey and a hat-trick

00:28 of assists for Luca Dean as well. A real night of hat-tricks there at Easter Road. It was

00:33 a great experience to go up there. It wasn't the biggest away allocation either so I felt

00:37 very fortunate to be there for Villa's first European tie in 13 years. In the home leg

00:43 against Hibernian next week, I think there's going to be a lot of rotation which I think

00:48 Emery will be very thankful for given they've got Liverpool on the Sunday afterwards. It's

00:52 a massive game away at Anfield so definitely has given them that advantage. But they showed

00:56 a lot of respect to Hibs. That was clear to see. They put out a very strong line-up, only

01:01 one or two changes. Nicolo Zaniolo actually is one talking point. He couldn't play because

01:06 UEFA said he's already played in qualifiers for Galatasaray but he should be able to play

01:11 once the group stages come around. But very exciting for Villa, great atmosphere at Easter

01:15 Road and it's only just the beginning really of their European campaign.

01:20 Looking ahead to their next Premier League fixture, Burnley away, with this confidence

01:25 from Europe and that brilliant win last week, how can they build on that?

01:30 I think it's just trying to weigh in the Premier League, making their mark after losing 5-1

01:35 to Newcastle United. They've proven against a Scottish opposition that they can do it.

01:39 They've proven against Everton at home with a 4-0 that they can do it. They just need

01:42 to stay resilient. I think they will and I think having that rotation against Hibs in

01:47 the second leg means they can play a strong team again. Zaniolo could make his debut as

01:52 well away at Turf Moor, which will be an exciting one to see. I think they should really win

01:57 that. But Burnley under Vincent Kompany we know is a very different team to the one it

02:02 was under Sean Dyche. So it could always be some surprises, especially away at Turf Moor.
