We were ready to compete. The test we had today was a fantastic test. They had chances in the first half, their goalkeeper was fantastic. Second half we changed a little bit and dominated more.
"We were getting confidence and it was a fantastic win. I am so proud of how the players responded on the field."
On late goalkeeper change: "We had to be ready. We are trying to work tactically, individually and try to focus everyone. The goalkeeper [Marco Bizot] was fantastic, he is a very good guy and goalkeeper and he is accepting his role.
"When we had six players out like we did today, the other players responded fantastically. It was fantastic how the goalkeeper replaced Emi Martinez."
On Emi Buendia: "He knows how we are building the team and how we are building tactically. His position is clear. He has capacity to assist and score goals."
On John McGinn: "His challenge as captain as well is something more than tactically and individually. He is playing with a lot of emotions. He responded in a difficult moment.
"He is a player who is very important in the dressing room and he is always happy and always smiling, when we need more than tactical and individual performances, he is always trying to get positive energy."

The current regulations, introduced in 2015-16 to prevent clubs from overspending, allow losses of £105m over a three-year reporting cycle.
However, they have been criticised by several top-flight teams for limiting their ability to invest.
BBC Sport has been told a decision on any changes is likely to be made at a meeting in November.
In February, clubs chose to continue with PSR for the current season.
However a squad cost ratio (SCR) system of financial control was adopted by the Premier League on a shadowing, non-binding basis.
SCR is similar to Uefa's existing financial rules and allows clubs to spend up to a percentage of their total revenues on squad-related costs.
Nine of the league's 20 clubs already have to comply with Uefa's SCR as a result of qualifying for Europe. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa were fined by Uefa in July for breaching the rules.
Asked about SCR at the Leaders sports conference in London, Masters said: "We are talking to our clubs about an alternative system. That's not to say we don't think the PSR system works."
He added: "It's about closer alignment with European regulation, which is squad cost ratio, which is a revenue test. In Uefa, it's now set at 70%. Our system will be 85% because we always want our clubs to have the ability to invest.
"The Premier League has been built on the back of investment in which international capital flows [are] coming in. We don't want that to be to be stifled off."

Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa returned to De Kuip - the site of their 1982 European Cup triumph against Bayern Munich - with the chance to further shake off their early-season troubles.
Their flat, lethargic performances before last week's victory over Bologna - their first win of the season - had started to become a cause for concern.
An intriguing first half could have seen either side on top at the break with an energetic Feyenoord registering 13 shots with five on target.
But Emi Buendia's second-half goal sapped some of the energy from the Dutch league leaders and Villa remained patient to find a second and see out a mature win.
There were plenty of indicators that Villa could be returning to the kind of form they have enjoyed under Emery in recent seasons.
Midfielder Buendia had not scored for the club for a year before Sunday's win over Fulham - having spent the previous season recovering from a serious knee injury - but now has two goals in as many matches.
John McGinn has now scored three goals in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.
And Emiliano Martinez's late withdrawal because of a calf injury sustained in the warm-up could have spelled trouble for Villa with Marcos Bizot drafted in just minutes before kick-off.
But the Dutch goalkeeper was brilliant, tipping over the bar from Luciano Valente and keeping a second consecutive clean sheet having made 15 saves so far this Europa League campaign, the most of any player.
While there remains work for Villa to do, an away win in Europe is another positive step which will further boost their confidence.

Aston Villa return to Rotterdam this evening with the memories of that special European Cup-winning night in 1982 firmly alive.
Villa face Feyenoord, not Bayern Munich, but the game takes place in the same stadium as that famous match.
We asked you to get in touch if you are travelling to the game or how you plan to soak it up if you are watching from home.
Here are some of your comments:
Tom: It's the match I've been dreaming of. I'm a Villa fan from Birmingham who's been living in Rotterdam for 13 years. We managed to get two tickets from a Feyenoord season ticket holder friend. Very lucky. My dad is currently on his way over for the match. Last time he was in this stadium? 1982.
Tim: I was there in 1982 - fantastic time. I could not get tickets this time around despite being a season ticket holder but would have loved to go back.
Listen to what Donyell Malen said about the fixture on BBC Sounds
Kev: Dreams of 1982 and Peter Withe!
Eddie: For the pilgrimage to Rotterdam, I'm wearing my late father's Villa tie, which he wore to all the games at Villa Park. My seat number on the Eurostar was 82 - a talisman for tonight!
BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor is on the ground and has also been speaking to travelling fans.
Shaun and his son on way to Rotterdam
Shaun: We had been so long out of Europe so you have to enjoy it while you can. Hopefully, we are here for the foreseeable in whatever competition. You always hear the older generation share their experience of European games, so to be back here in Rotterdam was always a dream. I'm here with my son, so we are getting to enjoy it together. He keeps saying that we are going to visit the scene of the club's best moment in history and that is why it was so important to get here.

Unai Emery's men are seeking their third consecutive win in all competitions, but they will have to make their mark on the current Eredivisie leaders.
But, as BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor noticed yesterday, this stadium is also "hallowed ground" for Villa fans, because of that special European Cup-winning night in 1982.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Europa League game against Feyenoord at Stadion Feijenoord (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Jadon Sancho is still unavailable due to sickness after missing out on the matchday squad last weekend. He did train on Wednesday but he will not be in the squad.
Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Andres Garcia, Ross Barkley and Tyrone Mings are all still out, but some youth players have travelled with the side.
Emery is confident he has "enough players to get a collective performance and give them the confidence to compete against Feyenoord".
The club's return to Feyenoord Stadium, the ground where they won the 1982 European Cup, will be "very special" because "a lot of the supporters were there" on that day.
He added: "It will be just like last year when we played against Bayern Munich, the team they beat in that final, which was of course very special as well."
When asked whether his Dutch players - Lamare Bogarde, Ian Maatsen, Donyell Malen and Marco Bizot - have told him how difficult it is to win in Rotterdam, he replied: "I know it already. It is always difficult to play away from home and Feyenoord played fantastically in the Champions League last year. Every team that played here struggled."
He already knows "what the environment is like" after managing Sevilla there and losing 2-0 in 2015-16. He added: "Their fans support them and push them. It's like having one more player for them, so we will have to try to dominate our area to try to stop them."
On taking on Feyenoord, he said: "It's important that we are consistent and focused for the full 90 minutes because it is our first away game in the Europa League and we're against a prestigious team. They are going to be so motivated, so tomorrow will be a huge test for us collectively and individually."
There is a lot of "respect" for Feyenoord as fellow former European Cup winners in 1970 and two-time Europa League champions. He added: "They are always playing in European matches, but it will also be a test for them to see how they play against a team like us."
Emery believes this fixture will be "one of the most important matches" of Aston Villa's Europa League campaign.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe have been here before.
Not literally all of us, of course; two generations have passed since our last trip to Feyenoord Stadium - but it happened here and every Aston Villa supporter of any age, even if only in some spiritual sense, knows this place.
Not many of the pre-eminent clubs of our time have an undisputed single peak. Which of Real Madrid's sides was the greatest? When was Liverpool's finest hour?
Aston Villa's list of honours is long and proud, even if much of it is sepia-coloured. But there is one night that towers above all others. Every fan - from the thousands who were there to the many more not even born - feels the connection.
Thanks to the famous banner inside Villa Park, most know it word for word: "Shaw, Williams, prepared to venture down the left..."
There have been periods over the past 43 years when Villa have been lost in the long shadow of 1982. It has seemed unlikely, perhaps even inconceivable, that the club could come close to repeating such a feat.
Have those the top of the club since then, including the owners, managers and players, always understood what that night in Rotterdam meant to supporters?
There are no doubts anymore. Nobody questions the ambition of Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris in restoring Villa to the top bracket of clubs (financial rules notwithstanding).
Most of all, Unai Emery has always felt like a good fit, in part because of his passion for European football and its heritage.
For a few moments in April, after Morgan Rogers' goal in Paris and during the raging second leg at Villa Park, you could imagine history repeating itself. In the fumbling early weeks of this season, that felt like a hallucination.
But Sunday's win over Fulham has hopefully cleared minds. The scrambled early Premier League table, with other expected contenders off the pace, confirms there is time to make up lost ground.
However, the most direct route back to the Champions League runs through Rotterdam and ultimately, in eight months time, Istanbul.
Villa started the Europa League as favourites, and a more confident showing here than against Bologna last week would confirm that.
This is - his CV confirms - Emery's tournament. This is - their home aside - Villa's most hallowed ground.
So if they need inspiration to start moving forward again, this ought to be the place to find it.

Image source, Getty ImagesKyrell Lisbie scored a second-half hat-trick as the current Vertu Trophy holders Peterborough United roared back from two goals down to beat Aston Villa Under-21s 4-2.
Posh, winners at Wembley in the last two seasons, were facing the prospect of an early exit after losing their opening group game against Leyton Orient when Mohamed Kone and Alfie Lynskey put Villa in control.
But Lisbie netted twice and had another disallowed for offside before rounding off the scoring with a header after Jimmy-Jay Morgan had grabbed the third - James Donnelly providing three of the assists.
The result drops Villa to the bottom of Southern Group F after two games played.

Image source, Getty ImagesFulham's goal inside four minutes on Sunday felt like Groundhog Day.
Last season, Aston Villa conceded from their opposition's first shot on target more than 20 times, and there was palpable frustration as old habits returned. Given recent form, it felt unlikely that Villa would pull off a comeback - a side effect of an uninspired start to the season.
The Villa of the past two seasons oozed confidence, and a swagger that only Unai Emery could have generated with a group of mostly inherited players. Yet, five games into the Premier League campaign, Villa had looked devoid of any of that same charm and conviction that is a defining feature of Emery's tenure.
After despairing over laziness among the squad just a week earlier, Emery's pre-match notes for Fulham urged fans to keep the faith and remember the progress since his arrival three years ago. It is true - this group has a huge amount of credit in the bank, and I felt it was inevitable things would click into place sooner rather than later.
Emery's wisdom, as always, rang true when Villa came out firing in the second half on Sunday, tallying three goals and playing more of the open, expressive football that is typical of Villa's DNA when playing at their best.
From the doom and gloom of an early cup exit, goal droughts and dwindling league position, Villa emerged from the ashes with a performance that resembled more of the team we recognise. Not perfect, but a reassuring sign there is still plenty of life left in Emery's project.
With Burnley up next, Villa have the chance to rebuild the momentum and belief that has been so integral to this team's success. There is no doubt in my mind they are capable of a resurgence.
As Emery said, this team deserves our full support.

Match of the Day commentator at Villa Park
Image source, Getty ImagesSunday felt like a big game for Harvey Elliott. He has had to be patient for a first Aston Villa Premier League start, and it just happened to be against Fulham, the club who he made his professional debut for as a 15-year-old.
However, the 22-year-old was substituted - some would say hooked - at half-time. His replacement, Emi Buendia, assisted and scored in a little over six minutes of action.
Speaking afterwards, Unai Emery was keen to stress the change was for tactical reasons and not performance related. He says Elliott "needs time".
I'm not alone in thinking it was quite a coup for Villa signing not only a Premier League winner, but a youngster who a few months ago was named player of the tournament as England lifted the Under-21 European Championship trophy.
Emery's meticulous attention to detail should never be underestimated. This is a coach who watched the documentary Sunderland 'Til I Die to help prepare for their recent draw at the Stadium of Light, despite the series largely focusing on the Black Cats' demise as opposed to recent success.
Elliott admits the set-up at Villa is "completely different" to any of his previous experience, and has taken "no offence" to his new head coach commenting publicly on how he needs to adapt to their playing style.
Not every signing hits the ground running in a new environment, but I cannot see how Elliott, who can play left wing, right wing, or in the number 10 position, does not make Aston Villa a better team.
We saw enough at Liverpool to suggest that perhaps Emery needs to slightly lower the requirement for perfection from Elliott in order to get the best out of player widely regarded as one of England's brightest young talents.

A subplot of Aston Villa's first win of the season was Emi Buendia's impact from the bench.
The attacking midfielder set up John McGinn, before scoring himself two minutes later, after being introduced at the restart.
It was his first Villa goal for a year - since scoring in the Carabao Cup against Wycombe last September - and first in the Premier League since March 2023.
Villa were open to letting the 28-year-old leave in the summer after he spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
Buendia wanted to fight for his place, having joined from Norwich in a then club record £38m deal in 2021 before seeing his Villa career interrupted by a serious knee injury two years ago, which kept him out for the entire 2023-24 season.
"He didn't want to leave, he had the possibility to leave in the transfer window but he wanted to stay here and take the commitment here. He is showing it every day and every match," said manager Unai Emery.
"We used it to get his best, energy, commitment and qualities. He scored, he helped us and he is going to be important this year."
We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Aston Villa and Fulham, which saw Unai Emery's side claim their first league win of the season.
Here are some of your replies:
Villa fans
Mossy: Hallelujah! Finally we are up and running. I'm so happy that Buendia is finally getting his chance at Villa. A lot of people say he isn't good enough, well he is on this performance! He completely changed the game and he always tries very hard. Onwards and upwards hopefully now. A good win against an in-form team.
Dave: What a difference a goal makes! For the first 35 to 40 minutes we were overly cautious and nervous, like we have been so far this season. At 1-1, we suddenly became the more pro-active and attacking team we've come to expect under Emery. It's so great to see most of our players moving forward more, rather than the crab-like sideways movements we've been guilty of too often. We need to play that more aggressive style in our last two games before the international break, then we can truly say our season has started.
Paul: Hard work and trying something different for a change brings rewards. Led from the front by McGinn, it was a much better show all-round. It was a mistake by Fulham to try to sit back so early and they paid the price. Rogers and Watkins much improved. Hopefully the season starts here.
Ian: Well that was a little better. The three points are so vital for building confidence going forward. We're still not where we need to be, but it's a start. We need to back it up at Feyenoord then Burnley at home. I have been saying Villa fans, keep the faith!
Fulham fans
Daniel: Marco Silva made a huge error in sending on Traore. He looked like a headless chicken, was out of position and had a shocker. Andersen wasn't far behind and Kevin had a poor performance. A bad day at the office all-round.
Mal: Need a goal? Play Fulham. Need a win? Play Fulham. The definition of Fulhamish. As a Fulham supporter for 65 years, I could've predicted the result before a ball was kicked.
Iain: How can you make fair comment on a match that had such appalling refereeing and VAR decisions? A blatant penalty and a clear handball were not given. But wait, it's Fulham so the laws don't count when we play!
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter Ollie Watkins ended his goalscoring drought on Sunday, Match of the Day pundit and Lionesses' record scorer Ellen White told BBC Sport:
"Ollie Watkins has scored so many goals in the Premier League for Aston Villa over a number of seasons now but, still, to go nine games without a goal will have affected him.
"When he scored, it was like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"When you are a striker and you are not scoring, of course you think about it and it does weigh heavily. You don't want to read things, and you don't want to hear things but of course your form is being discussed in the media and in the public eye.
"I felt like Watkins was still getting in the right positions, he was still having shots on target - it was just that clinical edge that was missing.
"His goal against Fulham is a beautiful finish over the keeper and into the net, and it was obvious he was not thinking about it - instead it just happened. It was not an easy chance, but it wasn't a situation where he was running in on goal and had time to decide what to do, instead it was 100% instinct.
"Sometimes, when you need a goal, you need that - to not be thinking about your finish. Having too much time can really mess with your head - it is totally different to when you are in form and scoring freely, and you do quite enjoy those types of finishes.
"You could see how much it lifted him in the rest of the game, with his movement and his touch. He didn't get the assist for Villa's third goal but he made it with his run in behind and then his cross.
"He looked so much freer in the second half, making those runs in the channels and he was getting balls into the box, connecting with his team-mates better.
"You have got to credit him for still getting in the right positions, the team for continuing to look for him, and also the manager. Emery could have dropped him for not scoring, but he has believed in him and said 'you are my number nine'.
"As a striker, to have that belief from your manager is huge."
