Aston Villa midfielder Ramsey explains positional change under Emery

Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey was happy scoring in victory over Bournemouth.

As well as his goal, Ramsey caught the eye with his surging runs forward, causing the visitors a host of problems. Speaking after the game, the 21-year-old opened up about how his role has changed since Unai Emery took charge.

“It is different under this boss," he said. “My role is to get forward, create chances and get goals and assists. I did that today.

“Me and Ollie Watkins have been working on the training ground. Everyone has had to adapt to the new gaffer's style. Under Steven Gerrard, I was playing deeper and now I'm higher up. I need to improve but I'm enjoying it."

Ramsey added: "We controlled the game in the first half. I needed that goal for the confidence but the most important thing is the three points. Where the club wants to go, we need a strong finish. We need to improve our home form."
