Prince William was in attendance at Villa Park on Wednesday night to watch his beloved Aston Villa beat Club Brugge 3-0 in the Champions League.
Villa kicked-off with a two-goal lead after winning 3-1 in Belgium last week, and were playing against 10 men for most of the second leg.
Emi Martinez spotted Marcus Rashford’s run in behind the Brugge defence, before Kyriani Sabbe was sent off for denying the Villa forward from a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
