However, Ollie Watkins and Donyell Malen came to his rescue, ensuring the victory for Villa.

Asensio wrote on X: "Sometimes these things can happen, the most important is to keep trying. Happy for another 3 points away. Thank you for the support Villans!"

Aston Villa will next host PSG in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture at home on April 15.
