"It's a massive win. This is a really tough place to come. We've won here before so we know what it takes. We were resilient all over the pitch and then Emi comes on and scores the winner, so thanks mate."

"It was a nice pass, it was a nice contact and a great win.

"We had a tough start to the season, everyone knows that. But all you can do is work hard and stick to what we've done over the past few years. We've picked up some great results, a really good win, and hopefully we can keep up the momentum."

**Matty Cash, post-match.**



Firstly, our supporters were here and they were helping, and of course, we were playing for them. The way the players responded, even when we were losing 1-0. This is the way we are trying to get better at and try to build the team with this structure.

"But of course, next week is Manchester City, and there is the Europa League on Thursday. Most importantly, we are recovering some players. The dressing room is different now. Substitutes are very important. Now we need to recover some injured players. Hopefully, players will come back and will try and help us with their qualities."

**Unai Emery, post-match.**



"It feels amazing to come here, it's such a difficult place to play and a really difficult opponent. At the start of the match, they get the advantage, the team showed character to come back and get a win."

"I was preparing myself to run back for the counterattack. But I could help the team with the goal. It is really important for the confidence and to be helping the team.

"From the start of the season, I wanted to show everyone that I wanted to play for this team and for this club, and I am glad I do it every game."

**Emiliano Buendía, post-match.**



“Villa have gone full Harlem Globetrotters. Beautiful ball from Cash, Digne still in the air brings it down, beautiful, little flick inside, and Buendia bends it into the corner. He made such a difference when he came on. A fantastic goal. Villa were the better team and deserved it.”

**Jamie Redknapp on Emiliano Buendía’s goal.**



"It's a really important win. It's a difficult place to come and also starting the game conceding one goal, but the team showed good character to come back and we got an incredible win."

“We had a bad start, we couldn't feel comfortable to compete at what this competition deserved, and after the break we showed different qualities of the team**.**

"I think we have a really good squad and good players that didn't play today, they have good qualities."

"It is always important to work hard and push to the best shape for the manager. It is important to fight for our place for the manager.

"It was a great quality goal. I tried to find the bottom corner, I know it is hard but we scored the goal and we got the win."
