Aston Villa boss Unai Emery was left delighted with their 5-0 win at Sheffield Utd.

John McGinn, Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey, Youri Tielemans and Alex Moreno scored for the visitors.

Emery later said: "I'm happy because before the match we were very focused to react. We scored goals, created chances and stopped them. Winning away is difficult.

"It was better than we were thinking at the beginning. We were clinical. We conceded two good chances at the end of the match.

"Emiliano [Martinez] always wants to keep clean sheets, like a striker [with goals].

"They were playing at home and started very well, they created the first chances. We stopped them. We were breaking their pressure and creating spaces.

"We have to try to focus each match. We're really happy. Our aggression was fantastic."
