1,300 Villa supporters made the trip to France to see their side overturn a one-goal deficit against Europa League opposition.

Leon Bailey continued his fine pre-season form with another goal as he equalised for the visitors after Arthur Theate gave the Ligue 1 side the lead.

Diego Carlos then nudge the west Midlanders in front on 81 minutes with a thumping header to secure the Villain’s fourth win in five friendlies.

The Brazilian was mightily impressive and left journalist Ashley Preece gushing over his performance. Writing for the Birmingham Mail Preece awarded the 29-year-old an 8/10 rating and made the following comments: ‘Just bodying every red shirt in sight as he showed Rennes who’s boss when it came to one-on-one duels.
