Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is pleased with the form of Emi Buendia.

Buendia has scored twice in the last three Premier League matches for Emery's resurgent team and the boss has been impressed by the £33million club record signing's attitude.

But he admitted the Argentina international can at times be guilty of getting too carried away, to the point he loses sight of the gameplan.

Emery explained: “I think Buendia's best quality is his mentality. He is always pushing and sometimes I have to stop him.

“I have to control his mind because he gets so excited sometimes and he is not clear in his thoughts about what he is going to do next on the pitch. I've been speaking a lot to everybody and to Emi especially.

“I am very happy with him because in the last two matches he has played very well and he's scored.

“I have used him as a second striker, as a left winger, but playing inside.

“I am trying to find his best position on the pitch and how he can combine best with his team-mates on the pitch."
