"It looked as if that run would continue in the fourth minute when Evann Guessand put them ahead with his first goal for the club. However, the Eredivisie side, who qualified by winning the KNVB Cup last season, produced an improbable turnaround, Mathis Suray levelling in the 42nd minute before captain Mats Deijl completed the comeback just after the hour mark."
"Emi Buendia, the hero of Villa's win over Tottenham last Sunday, had a golden chance to rescue a point 11 minutes from time, but sent his penalty flying over the crossbar. Villa continued to push for a leveller, but it never arrived as Go Ahead Eagles held on to seal a result that will go down as one of the most famous in their history."
