In the Europa League group stage, Aston Villa lost 1-2 to the Dutch team Go Ahead Eagles away.

Emery admitted that this match was another reminder to the team that away games in Europe are never easy. In a post-match interview, Emery said: "We have gained a lot of experience in European competitions, from the UEFA Champions League, the Champions League, and the Europa League. We have also had a good start to this season."

"Today we controlled the game, scored the first goal and created a lot of chances, but our opponent took better advantage. We missed the penalty kick and can only accept the result."

Emery especially thanked the away fans for their support: "Thank you to all the supporters who came out. Away games are always difficult. Although I remain positive, I do feel disappointed and frustrated today."

This defeat leaves Aston Villa with 6 points after three rounds of the Europa League group stage. Emery said the team must bounce back quickly: "We have to keep moving forward and prepare for the Premier League game at home against Manchester City at the weekend."

"Although this defeat interrupted our good momentum, we will recover quickly, learn from the experience on a tactical and individual level, and improve our ability to control the game."
