Aston Villa manager Unai Emery speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their victory over Tottenham: "The first 45 minutes, we controlled the game like we planned. Both players fantastic, and today played 90 minutes. And today, playing 90 minutes, with his versatile position, playing in a left side and inside as a 10, we did both during the match. In each position he's performing very well and his commitment to help, get his task done and focus, overall, is really fantastic. "Especially today, the performance of Morgan [Rogers] and Buendia was really fantastic, and each one can feel comfortable playing with their qualities."
