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.

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.

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.
