Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says they can learn from defeat to Leicester City.

Boss Emery, who had won seven of his first seven league matches in charge, later admitted frustration at the display but stressed the importance of focusing on the bigger picture.

He said: We are progressing because we were down the bottom (when I arrived) and now we're 11th. We have to be ambitious as well to play better. That process needs time.

Losing is sometimes necessary. Overall, we are trying to improve being clinical.

In the last result, we won. On Saturday, we can be disappointed but we have to do the same idea and be better next time.

"We created good chances. I will analyse and practice to improve that action of the style we want to create. I will work in the next days and in the next matches to improve.

"The opposition have very good players. They were pressing. We have to learn to try to break the pressing. They came here to push us and press us high. We can play long ball, long ball, long ball but I don't want to do it."
