A colussus performance from Unai’s Villa against the media darlings Brighton and de Zerbi. Another tactical masterclass along with exceptional performances from Konsa, Dougie Luiz, Mcginn, Diaby and, of course, Ollie Watkins the hattrick hero. Drawing Brighton forward time and time again then picking them off on the break proved to be a master stroke of tactical nous from Emery. The speed of Dunk and Webster was called into question multiple times by Watkins and Diaby; Steele had a game to forget. Great to see Jacob Ramsey back on the pitch, relieving an ineffective Nico Zaniolo after an hour, and having a major impact on the game with the goal to make it 5. You can tell him and Alex Moreno have been missed on that attacking left hand side of the back end of last season leading us to European football. Watched from the back row of the Holte in a ‘Terraced View’ seat. Disagree with having hospitality in the Holte in general however this would be ideal in either the Doug or the Trinity.
