Commentary
FULL-TIME: ASTON VILLA 3-1 VIKING
Mings thwarts Bjordal again, ending a long attack by Viking, who have substantially improved during the second half. They were so timid before the break; that's all changed now, but it's too little too late.
Cosic upends Cash and concedes a free-kick, as the fourth official indicates four minutes will be added to the end of this match.
Struggling to keep Bjordal at bay, Mings just about buys a goal-kick, which will also kill more precious time. The finish line is now in sight for Aston Villa, as they aim to maintain a perfect Champions League record.
Trying his luck for the third time since coming on, Garnacho makes a familiar move inside from the left before hitting a defender with his shot from the edge of the box.

Perhaps sensing a slight chance to snatch something from this match, Viking make another change: Haugen will be replaced by Bassey.
