In the second round of the Premier League, Trossard and Thomas each scored a goal, as Villa lost 0-2 to Arsenal at home. After the game, Villa manager Emery was interviewed by the media.
Emery said: “We gave our all in the game and competed with our opponents. Overall, we were quite solid, we had chances to score, even more chances than them. They had a slight advantage in the first half, but in the second half we created two great scoring opportunities.”
“If we could have scored a goal, maybe we could have won the game. I accept the result today, because I think we are on our way, trying to improve and develop. This is the second round of the Premier League, we can learn and improve further.”
“We want to continue playing with the fans at Villa Park, gradually adapt and maintain the kind of form we showed last year. We still have a lot of work to do, but we will continue to improve, through the game with West Ham and today’s game, we will find our way. We will strive to get into the top ten, even the top six.”
“I am satisfied, if we could have taken more chances to score, maybe we could have won the game today. Against Arsenal, we felt we were close to playing well. The players will stay calm, rest for two days, and then be ready for Leicester City.”
