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.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is “100 per cent” fit to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, his head coach Unai Emery has said. The 28-year-old was substituted off in the 60th minute of Tuesday’s three-goal Champions League victory at Young Boys and was seen holding ice to his leg muscles on the substitute’s bench.

Unai Emery admits Aston Villa's first half performance against Wolves was the worst since he has been in charge of the club, but was delighted with his side's response to win 3-1 win at Villa Park.
