GettyUnai Emery's side made it three wins out of three in the Champions League this season thanks to two second-half strikes.
Aston Villa continue to enjoy life in Europe and coasted to a deserved win over Bologna thanks to goals from captain McGinn and striker Duran to maintain their 100% record in the competition.
Bologna made a bright start but the hosts quickly grew into the match and began to dominate. Ian Maatsen's pace down the left was causing problems, while the impressive Morgan Rogers twice went close to breaking the deadlock before half-time.
The opening goal came 10 minutes into the second half when McGinn delivered a fine free-kick into the penalty area that missed everyone but ended up in the back of the net to give the hosts a lead they deserved.
Villa didn't have to wait long to double their lead. Less than 10 minutes later, Diego Carlos picked out Rogers with a fine ball. The youngster then dinked a cross into Duran who got across his marker and flicked the ball home to secure a comfortable victory.
