Aston Villa boss Unai Emery was happy to defeat Bournemouth in front of the club's owners.

Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey and Emi Buendia got the goals as Villa put the relegation-threatened Cherries to the sword, recording the second successive home clean sheet in the process.

Owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens were in attendance to enjoy the performance and Emery said: “It was the first time since I was here they were both here. I appreciate the visit a lot, the players the same.

“It is good to be together here. Today was a really good day because they watched our victory and enjoyed it.

“They are the owners, we are the professional coaches and players but the supporters, they are the real owners of the club.

“We have to be together, trying to do something. In the beginning it is trying to do good work."
