Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to TNT Sports: "We played a very serious match, disciplined, organised, and then tried to impose ourselves and dominate with our capacity, both collectively and individually.

"We were dominating, feeling comfortable through our discipline tactically, and then exploiting through our individual qualities."

"We didn't start it as we did the first half. We conceded some corners; they were dominating sometimes. But in the 90 minutes overall, we were better.

"We dominated more often than not. We are so happy with how we got those three points."

Aston Villa goalscorer Emiliano Buendia, speaking to TNT Sports: "Very good.
