Gabriel (48'), Martin Zubimendi (52'), Leandro Trossard (69'), and Gabriel Jesus (78') scored for the home team, while Villa's only goal came at the end of the second half through Ollie Watkins (90+4').
This was Villa's first defeat after a run of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions. "I'm very, very proud of everything we've done," Emery said, as quoted on Villa's official website on Wednesday.
This defeat keeps Villa in third place with 39 points and makes Emery very proud because his team's performance is much better than the first half of last season when they collected 29 points in ninth place.
