Jadon Sancho was waiting to receive a pass from Youri Tielemens inside Villa's half but, before the forward knew it, degaard had pinched the ball and was haring towards Emiliano Martinez's goal.

"I think it was amazing. It's always hard to play against them. They have brilliant players," Jesus told Sky Sports. "They come here all the time, they hurt us.
