Konsa admitted it was an emotional week for the club after the passing of club legend Gary Shaw. Emery dedicated the win over Young Boys to the European Cup champion, and Konsa said after the win against Wolves that he and his teammates were determined to win at Villa Park in front of Shaw's family.

Ultimately, goals from Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa and substitute Jhon Duran were responsible for delivering the victory which ensured Aston Villa’s impressive start to the new Premier League season continues.

Unai Emery revealed how a half-time team talk helped spark Villa’s comeback to beat Wolves. Villa trailed to Matheus Cunha’s opener at the break and the boss described the first half performance as the worst 45 minutes of his reign.
