Aston Villa manager Unai Emery spoke after his side won 1-0 at Goodison Park in David Moyes' first game back in charge of Everton

"This victory is very important. We have started the year winning at home, in the Premier League and in the FA Cup. Away, we were in a bad spell and had to break it."

Unai Emery saluted Ollie Watkins’ relentless spirit after the striker earned Villa a 1-0 win at Everton. Watkins netted for the ninth time in the Premier League this season as Villa made it three wins on the spin in 2025 and snapped a five-match losing run on the road.
