@ItsMeFletch_ 😂😂😂

@1874Jacob Coming on in 2nd half like today but a bit earlier

@_stonyd Over who?

I’d be playing Elliott on Sunday

Tunnel scenes ☺️

High praise for Jadon Sancho from John McGinn tonight. 🤝 #AVFC

Emery: "I am happy with how we performed over two matches. Being organised, respecting the opponent, not so brilliant in those two matches but consistent - defending well and when we had our momentum, we were ruthless." #AVFC

Unai Emery on Jadon Sancho: "Hopefully we play matches improving on the match he played today. He played well. Sancho has qualities which are high level. He showed it. Very important for us." #AVFC

Unai Emery on John McGinn: "He needs minutes. He’s getting fit again and he will be very important. Today he played progressively getting better. The first half he was recovering confidence. The second half, he scored a goal which is very good for him to feel better." #AVFC

Emery on Martinez: "I remember last year against Brugge, he did the pass to Rashford when we provoked the red card. He has this long pass when he's playing focused like today. I think he can help us a lot, not only saving us but also playing the ball in combination." #AVFC

OUR CAPTAIN 😍

John McGinn on Emi Martinez: "He’s a mad man. I know he’s a family man but he is a big kid inside, a lively character and a top goalkeeper but even at 2-0 he made a great save." [TNT] #AVFC

I hear my article has been mentioned on the commentary. And yes, it's about Demi Lovato and John McGinn. As shown by one tonight, it's about two entertainers who can get the crowd on their feet... #AVFC nytimes.com/athletic/71220…

John McGinn on Jadon Sancho: "It was his best [performance] in a Villa shirt. He was man of the match tonight by a mile. The manager was giving me grief before the game to make sure I get in the box and he gave it to me." [TNT] #AVFC

John McGinn: "It is difficult when the team is not doing well and you’re in the physio room. I knew it could have been more serious and I just wanted to do my rehab properly. I’ve made mistakes before, trying to cut corners with rehab but I didn’t do that." [TNT] #AVFC

@J_Tanswell The run from Sancho was unreal

Martinez's pass was unbelievable. The few seconds of euphoria from team-mates - when no one really knew how to celebrate - was a testament to how good it was. Rogers ran straight for him as soon as the ball hit the net. The technique, the top spin, the weight... wow #AVFC
