Unai Emery spoke with the media after Aston Villa's win over Man City at Villa Park

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery sat down with the media after his side's 2-1 win against Man City in the Premier League.

Nicolas Jakson scored either side of Erling Haaland's equaliser early in the second half. Here is every word Emery said in his post-match press conference...

What are your thoughts on that win, Unai?

"We were very motivated. We were excited how we were responding in the match in the highest level in football. Manchester City is the best team in the league until now. It's one of the best teams in the world, so this is the level we were the last year more or less facing and getting - getting the level close with those teams. This year we started so poor, we needed time to understand better, individually and collectively, how we need to improve or to work in our structure tactically, individually, try to get confident, feel comfortable. So today, this test was really, really, very good test and we responded. The players as well showed with us the capacity to recover the level we achieved the last years.

"So we faced it then, and it's a very good example, the match we played today, after how we were progressing against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford, improving things. We were so, so demanding to analyze those matches, understanding our individual and collective improved. So today, I think everything we worked was really fantastic for those three points we achieved today. So, still work to do. We have 11 points; it’s not enough, but we are feeling better, much, much better. But throughout the match, through our standards, the players as well they understood how we must be demanding to individually, collectively to achieve our structures strong, and today they did it. Really fantastic.

What is the difference between Jackson at Villa and Villarreal?

"Mature, experience, confidence, and he is very demanding himself. Very demanding himself to improve things. Today, he scored two goals, but the last matches he's scoring goals. But at the beginning of the season, to adapt to us was more difficult, and he was shooting a lot of balls over the crossbar. Now, he's getting his shots better, as well he's working fantastic tactically, fantastic. He is understanding as well where we need him.

"Sometimes he can drop, because he's good at getting duels, but we need him more running in behind. He has his quality and his power. His speed is fantastic, and as well his capacity to get duels man-to-man, or to attack players to pass for another. So today, he scored two goals, but the most important how he did his work, his task."

What have you made of Suzuki's performances?

"He's ambitious. I think it's very important, his mentality. He's very ambitious himself. He chose to be here with us when we spoke with him about our project, and how he is every day, every day working, every day showing his desires to work strong to get as best as possible playing official matches is really fantastic. And then, his qualities.

"Of course, we need one keeper first to save us in the goal, but as well we need one keeper to try to help us in our build-up. And in build-up, he's a really fantastic player because he can play short, he can understand where is the superiority to break the opponent's press. He has as well qualities to do long ball, getting our players in attack. So, we are very, very impressed how he adapted so quick with us."

What did you make of the chants from Villa fans about Man City?

"I was focused in the match. I was not watching the supporters, what they are doing. I am focused in the match. We are playing on the field. I was focused in the match. I am focusing our task. I am focusing how they were performing and how we could beat them. I was not listening the people. It's football. It's football and I can answer you about football."

Garnacho wasn’t in the squad again…

"He's progressing. He played fantastic 20 minutes on Wednesday in Champions League, but today as well we have players as well now ready, available. And I am happy how he is progressing, and of course will have as well minutes, time to continue in the progression in how he showed with us on Wednesday."
