Aston Villa Report

Emery on Ollie Watkins: "How he’s finishing the season is fantastic. Even 90 minutes, maybe he was expecting to play less or to rest but Tammy Abraham was sick yesterday. But how he was being hungry to score more goals, to play more because I think now is his moment." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "Ollie Watkins is a fighter. He is a warrior. How he finishes the season is really fantastic. Tammy was sick. Maybe at the beginning we thought to give him less minutes, but he was angry about scoring more goals." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We spoke in the dressing room about respect. Today the respect we had to do was for us. The Europa League was done and the league we competed for fourth. The respect was inside. We played seriously and disciplined." #AVFC

Unai Emery confirmed that the gift he gave Pep Guardiola was a lion, presumably a small replica of the statue at Villa Park. "It is for his career and everything he is giving to the footballing world," Emery said. #AVFC

#AVFC end their Premier League season in fourth place after coming from behind to claim their first league win at Man City in over 19 years. Ollie Watkins scored his 15th and 16th league goals of the season to turn the game on its head after half-time. 🔥 https///www.birminghamma

FT: Man City 1-2 #AVFC Villa come from behind to win. The difference in the two halves summed up their season. Firstly, wildly fluctuating - poor (understandably) in the first half, before, a second key factor, showing a level of resilience that has majorly contributed to success
