Aston Villa manager Unai Emery saluted Leon Bailey after their 4-1 win over AZ Alkmaar.

The Premier League side are dominating the Europa Conference League so far this season.

As Emery searches for a first trophy as Villa boss, he admits that Bailey and co can beat anyone on their day.

Post-game, Emery said: “Leon Bailey, he has a big potential and tonight he played fantastic.

“He is not being in good balance in playing at home and away, always taking better performances at home than away, and that's his challenge.

“Tonight he played very well. He is trying to improve and to increase his level in the demands we are trying to get with the squad, with the team, with the players.

“Really, I am very happy with him today. The last match at home as well against West Ham he played very well too. It's fantastic for him and the team."
