Shaw making way for a fresh pair of legs, followed closely by A. Garnacho and D. van de Beek entering the fray. Aston Villa responded by introducing fresh players, with L. Bailey, O. Watkins, E. Buendía, L. Digne, and L. Dendoncker all coming on as substitutes throughout the second half to maintain their advantage.

Despite a late yellow card shown to Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa in the 88th minute, the home team held their ground, ensuring a memorable victory over their illustrious opponents.
