Aston Villa boss Unai Emery hailed the commitment of Douglas Luiz for victory at Sheffield United.

Luiz was taken off at halftime in the 5-0 win, having gone into the game feeling ill.

“He didn't feel very well before the match this morning but wanted to play because he was feeling the power to play and get the performance to help the team," said the Villa boss.

“At half-time we decided to change him because it was taking care of him and rest him because of the issues.

"He decided to play because he was feeling strong to help the team."
