Aston Villa boss Unai Emery hailed the performance of John McGinn after their 3-1 win against Fulham.

McGinn scored and impressed for Villa on Sunday.

Emery said, "He is playing always being positive and trying to help the team. We're demanding of him. The fans love him a lot. It's fantastic because he's responding on the pitch and connecting with them and always playing with the game plan we have. He's adding goals. He's a very good example for everyone."

"Now today we can be happy and optimistic about where we are. But you have to be very consistent. It's very difficult. We'll try to work hard to be there. It's always another challenge we're facing. Now we're very happy. We want to rest and come back next week to try to be in the same way we are doing.

"Facing Tottenham away is a big challenge. They are playing very well."
