Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has been speaking to TNT Sports: "We are always trying to be positive. In some matches, we are maybe not performing as we want but today we performed.

"We are feeling strong. Here we played the first-half very well. In the second-half, we kept possession more and were getting in the box to score the second goal.

"We imposed and dominated more."

On how he is dividing up game time between Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins: "We are in the process with the players keeping their consistency of playing.

"Jhon Duran played fantastic. Ollie Watkins is fantastic as well. It is very important for us. Of course you have to work with both strikers, sometimes they play together.

"I am very happy with them.

On Morgan Rogers' form: "He played fantastic. He is very important. We are getting the performance back through him because he links strikers with midfielders and wingers.

"He was fantastic in the second-half, connecting with strikers and scoring the goals. He has to add goals to his numbers, and today he was fantastic."
