News about Robin Olsen

JAKE FENNER AT RED BULL ARENA: It was a weird environment at a half-full Red Bull Arena and Aston Villa could not seem to get off on the right foot in a 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig. The German side struck first in the 17th minute with a poacher's goal for Portuguese striker Andre Silva which led to an injury to keeper Robin Olsen. A second goal for Die Roten Bullen from Loïs Openda led to a moment of madness from Villa center back Diego Carlos - who was sent off.

The Argentina goalkeeper has travelled to Athens for the second leg of the semi-final against Olympiacos, with Villa 4-2 down from the first leg, despite missing the last two-and-a-half games with a hamstring problem.

TOM PRENTKI: Roberto De Zerbi admitted Brighton did not beat 'the true Aston Villa' after his side ended a miserable run with their first win in seven games.

Phil Foden's spectacular goal in Manchester City's 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, sealing his hat-trick, has been compared to a 2005 Wayne Rooney strike.

It has brought comparisons to Rooney's 2005 debut for Manchester United, where he scored one of his best strikes for the Red Devils with an elious volley against Newcastle, just seconds after arguing with the matchday referee, which he described as the best goal he had ever scored.
