Aston Villa star suffers cut on his face after Young Boys thugs pelt him with missiles during goal celebration before ripping out seats in violent clashes with police

Aston Villa star Donyell Malen suffered a cut on his head as BSC Young Boys thugs launched projectiles and ripped out seats in their Europa League clash.

Goalscorer Donyell Malen was struck on the head by a projectile as he celebrated in the corner after breaking the deadlock in the 27th minute.

The forward was left with a cut on his face for his troubles although he was able to play on against the Swiss side.

Indeed, in the 42nd minute, Malen punished Young Boys by scoring again and went to celebrate in the same corner - only to be targeted by missiles again.
