Marcus Rashford continued his strong run at Aston Villa, leading the line in a dominant 3-0 win over relegated Southampton on Saturday.
Unai Emery’s side secured a comfortable Premier League victory with goals from Ollie Watkins, Donyell Malen, and John McGinn. Despite Marco Asensio being denied from the penalty spot twice by Aaron Ramsdale, Villa kept control of the match throughout.
Rashford’s Form Impresses
Since arriving on loan, Rashford has contributed three goals and four assists across 14 appearances for the West Midlands club, proving to be a valuable addition to Emery’s attacking setup.
On Instagram, Rashford posted after the match: “Momentum is building.” The post received a like from darts world champion Luke Littler, highlighting Rashford’s growing popularity beyond football circles.
Aston Villa vs PSG: European Challenge Awaits
With domestic form steady, Aston Villa now shift focus to the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. After a 3-1 loss in the first leg in Paris on April 9, Emery’s squad faces a significant challenge to overturn the deficit at Villa Park on Tuesday.
Having reached the last eight, Villa are aiming to go one better and make the semi-finals—a clear sign of their European ambitions. The club remains just one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League, keeping hopes of another top-four finish and more silverware alive.
Villa fans will hope Rashford, who has previously scored against PSG in crucial European moments, can repeat that magic and help push the club into the final four.
