Aston Villa boss Unai Emery played down his side’s Champions League credentials despite thrashing West Ham boxing
Villa are just two points off Premier League pacesetters Manchester City and Arsenal following Sunday’s 4-1 win boxing
Douglas Luiz’s double and clinical finishes from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey ended Villa’s Hammers hoodoo, for their first victory over West Ham since 2015 boxing
They returned to fifth spot, just a point adrift of the top four, with games against Luton, Nottingham Forest and Fulham coming up next boxing
“There are seven teams contending boxing
We are after seven teams; Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle,” said Emery, with fifth potentially offering a Champions League place this term boxing
“Dream, always boxing
My dream is to win the Champions League but now we are fifth and we are going to face each match trying to get a good performance boxing
“It’s 38 matches and we lost at Newcastle, we lost at Liverpool boxing
They are matches we are not going to play again boxing
“I prefer to speak about the matches we won but I have to speak about the matches we lost boxing
This is the balance boxing
We have to be very demanding boxing
“In the table West Ham were two points behind us and the level we have now, they have as well boxing
It was very important boxing
“The process is going in the right way, it’s going to be difficult boxing
In the end we won 4-1 boxing
”Luiz had already tested Alphonse Areola from distance before opening the scoring after half an hour, firing in from the edge of the box after good work by Nicolo Zaniolo and Watkins boxing
Six minutes after the break Villa were gifted a second when Lucas Paqueta sold Edson Alvarez short and he brought down Ezri Konsa for Luiz to convert from the spot boxing
But Jarrod Bowen grabbed a lifeline for the Hammers soon after when his shot hit Pau Torres to creep into the corner boxing
The visitors sensed a recovery, Matty Cash heading over Nayef Aguerd’s shot, but with 16 minutes left Watkins ended any ideas of a comeback boxing
He latched onto John McGinn’s long ball, skipped past Kurt Zouma and lashed into the roof of the net boxing
There was still time for Bailey to get in on the act in the final minute, beating Areola from six yards after giving Aguerd the slip boxing
It was just West Ham’s third league defeat of the season, leaving manager David Moyes frustrated boxing
“I’m not having my teams losing four goals as soft as we did today boxing
There were things which I can say we did quite well but I didn’t think we were hard enough to play against,” said Moyes, whose side are now ninth boxing
“Today wasn’t so good boxing
More importantly nearly every ball we played around the box was the wrong decision and it led to us hardly creating enough opportunity to score boxing
“The lads kept on fighting and it looked like we were the team in ascendancy at 2-1 but they punished us really quickly and that took the game beyond our reach boxing
“Villa are probably just behind the top three or four in the Premier League and today was a challenge to see what level we were at and I thought we fell below that boxing
“It was a very close first half, we missed opportunities to score boxing
We had opportunities to make chances to score and that was the bit bugging me at half-time boxing
