Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "They were pushing and got into our box and scored one goal. We didn't feel strong or the fresh legs to recover or dominate or try to score.

"We have circumstances like the injury of Tyrone Mings and we don't have another proper centre-back."

On Mings' injury: "I don't know. Tomorrow we will test him and hopefully, it is not a lot. Things like that are punishing us.

"We started the second part of the season with two wins and two draws. We are very ambitious and we want more.

"We have to keep going and focus on Wednesday, recover some players, and try to use the last week in the transfer window. We have to get our performances quality. We want to play in Europe."
