Aston Villa boss Unai Emery was unsurprisingly disappointed and frustrated after our loss to Leicester City, but remains optimistic overall.
Villa came into this encounter in good form, but unfortunately our impressive run of results came to an end as we suffered a 4-2 defeat at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.

Defensively, we simply weren’t good enough. Whether it was glaring mistakes like the one which led to the first goal for the visitors, or our general defensive performance as a unit as it was far too easy to cut through us throughout, conceding three goals at home in 45 minutes isn’t acceptable.
Emery and the players will be fully aware of that no doubt, and to add to our frustration it really felt as though we should have come away with three points given our impressive play at times. However, those mistakes led to our downfall and after failing to be clinical enough in the second half, we’re now left to rue a frustrating defeat.
As ever, Emery was honest and forthcoming in his assessment of the game, as he didn’t hide his thoughts on how we played and where it went wrong for us.
