    Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to Match of the Day: "We want to win matches easier than we did. We are showing how difficult it is to win in the Premier League - last week against Everton [0-2 to win 3-2].

    "We were suffering in the first half but the second half was completely different. I am very happy because we won. It was very important we changed our energy and we played to win in the second half."

    On Jhon Duran: "Good impact again. The most important thing is we won. We will need all the players in the matches we play in the next few weeks."

    Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa, speaking to Match of the Day after beating Wolves: "It shows the character and the togetherness we have here [to come from behind and win]. We knew we were not good enough in the first half. We came out firing in the second half and punished them."

    On substitute Jhon Duran scoring again: "He's a big talent. We see it every day in training. It's important for him to stay humble and we'll help him do that. He's still young."

    On the tribute to Gary Shaw: "It's been an emotional week for us with the passing of Gary Shaw. On Tuesday we wanted to dedicate the win to him. And we wanted to do it today in front of our fans and in front of his family."
