FT: Villa 2-1 Young Boys

Important win, moves us closer to that top-eight finish so job done. Donyell Malen in the goals again, rotation & rested players in a relatively comfortable win albeit made it a tricky end. Keeps our winning momentum going, onto Sunday. UTV!

HT: Villa 2-0 Young Boys

Excellent first half. Controlled performance with cutting edge to our play to create openings. Two top goals with Donyell Malen being clinical, hopefully keep this a comfortable game in 2nd half. Absolute state of the visiting fans.

Seven Villa changes. Good to see Amadou Onana back from injury, and having both Harvey Elliott & Andres Garcia back in the matchday squad.

Hopefully secure three more crucial points to take another step towards direct qualification for the knockout phase. UTV!

🗣 Pau Torres on Morgan Rogers: "Everybody inside believes in him, in his capacity. Not a surprise for us [quality shown vs Leeds], he's training really, really well and at the end the good results are there. He's training always 100 percent."

🗣 Pau Torres on Ezri Konsa: “His capacity to lead the team from the back is amazing. He’s improving as well with the ball, since I arrived here he’s improved a lot.

“I think it’s work he did, but also the staff helped him a lot to improve on it."

🗣 Unai Emery on Harvey Elliott: "We are not thinking about the transfer window in January. He is one of our players and hopefully he can help us. Then, we are going to decide. There are other players performing very well. He is training very well every day."

Delighted for Morgan Rogers. Rough start to the season, but backed by Unai Emery throughout to play his way out of it, produced a match-winning display yesterday.

Will still be pushing to reach his best level, but great to see him on the scoresheet and playing a crucial role in our win 👊🏽🟣🔵

🗣 Morgan Rogers: “I call it the Emi Buendia. He did it in the last game before the break. It's something I've been practising, probably not as hard as him or as much as I should.

"I know I’ve got them in the locker. It’s about consistency."

🗣 Unai Emery: "We are trying to set as high a standard as possible. My players were fantastic.

"Every team in the PL has great players and coaches. We must be consistent. We must be strong. Tactically it is very important and individually we have to show our quality."

🗣 Unai Emery: "First half we struggled, they deserved the first half. Leeds were playing fantastic. Second half we changed some things. They tired in the second half and we dominated the ball more. We scored quick and that helped us a lot."

🗣 Unai Emery on Morgan Rogers: "He was performing fantastic, even when he wasn't scoring. Always he's playing well. Better to be scoring goals but to me he's always the same. He is getting progressively better like the team. Today, scoring goals, he was brilliant."

🗣 Matty Cash: “We started poorly but we’ve found a bit of rhythm and stuck together as a group. We have a fantastic manager who leads us really well. His message today was to win the game and get into the top four. We’re delighted.”

🗣 Matty Cash: “It’s always tough to come here. They’re a good team [with a] good atmosphere. In the first half, we could have been a little bit better but showed great resilience. In the second half we played really well. There were some great finishes. I'm really happy.”

🗣 Morgan Rogers: "Great win at a difficult place. Had to dig deep & show our determination. Deserved the win in the end. We will work as hard as we can & leave everything out there. We may not be at it as normal but sometimes heart & determination gets you over the line."

FT: Leeds 1-2 Villa

Excellent response in 2nd half. Really poor in the first struggling with their aggression, but important impact from Malen & decisive quality from Morgan Rogers to help us turn it around. Big win on the road to keep building positive form. UTV!

Big save from Emi Martinez. Hopefully a decisive moment as we look to see this out...

Morgannnnn!!!

Super strike from Morgan Rogers to dispatch the free-kick into the back of the net. What a hit, great response in this second half so far.

2-1 Villa, 75'

Instant impact from Donyell Malen, great to way to start the second half to get ourselves right back into this now. Hopefully kick on from here...

HT: Leeds 1-0 Villa

Dire. Didn't get anything going in scrappy, stop-start half. Obviously biased but thought was a foul, albeit a soft one, for the goal, but so frustrated with our performance so far. Need to deal w/ their aggression better & show so much more quality.

Not biased at all but looked offside in first phase and a foul, albeit a soft one, on Emi Martinez, but ok.

Disappointing start falling behind.

One Villa change. Youri Tielemans in for Amadou Onana, who misses out due to injury.

Important boost having Tielemans back in a balanced Villa XI, good options on the bench to change the game if needed too & great to see George Hemmings make the matchday squad. UTV! 🟣🔵
