'We have to be proud of the year'

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery speaking to Sky Sports: "We played a very fantastic match more or less only the first 20 minutes we started lower than we were planning and we conceded one goal.

"We reacted and came back with 2-1. I have to accept it but I am a little bit frustrated with it. The table is very tight but we are in the race for the second part of the season.

"The result is at risk when you score one goal. We created some attacking third action and the corner we had with Ollie Watkins was maybe the key moment to win the match. We are ninth in the table and we have to try to start again against Leicester.

On Tyrone Mings: "He will be OK. He was just tired. He has his process of getting minutes and getting confidence. Hopefully, we will be OK for Saturday.

"We have to be proud of the year. We have to try to accept it and be happy with the result we had in 2024. Happy New Year to everybody."
