Unai Emery insists Sunderland's late quick-fire double against #AVFC was not Jadon Sancho's fault. "We are going to analyse and find solutions for mistakes. I am always taking responsibility for the mistakes, not the players." https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/footb

Jadon Sancho looked emotional at full-time as he headed straight down the tunnel after the referee’s whistle. He was consoled by Damian Vidagany. Unai Emery insisted that his mistakes were not the main cause of either of Sunderland’s late goals. #AVFC

Unai Emery on Jadon Sancho: "It is not his mistake. The mistake is how we did this action. If we did more passes, we could have avoided it. I am never punishing. After the ball we lost, the players didn’t respond well to protect the goals." #AVFC

Unai Emery on Emi Martinez's save: "We need strikers and goalkeepers. It was the match - three points for them and no three points for us." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "I am so, so happy. We played a fantastic match and maybe the two goals we conceded in one minute, we lost our mind a little bit. They were excited. But how we reacted at 3-3 to score the fourth goal was fantastic." [Sky] #AVFC

John McGinn: "When you see the difference of the two points big Tammy Abraham has added for us at the end, it's huge for us. We knew how important this game was. It wasn't perfect but who cares at the end of the day." [Sky] #AVFC

John McGinn: "What a position we are in - the semi-final of European competition and pole position to qualify for top five. We can go and achieve what not many Aston Villa players have done for a long time. We're keen to do that and we're driven." [Sky] #AVFC

John McGinn: "We were in control of the game, had chances to go 4-1 or 5-1 up but Sunderland are a good team, they put us on the backfoot. We've got to manage the game better. To go 3-3 is something we are definitely not happy with." #AVFC

Tammy Abraham on Villa fans: "They're the best. I was lucky to be here in the promotion years so I knew all about them and every game they bring us confidence and support us day in and day out. I love them." [Sky] #AVFC
