FT: Aston Villa 4-2 Nottingham Forest
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very happy. A fantastic first half - we conceded one corner, one goal, but we dominated the match.
"The second half, we were nervous after the goal, but again we reacted very well. Douglas Luiz was very important, he controlled the ball and we controlled the game."
On his team's character: "More than character I think, it is about being focused in our game plan and trying to keep calm, keep controlling the game like we were doing. Today was a very good experience, adding more positive things for the team.
On challenging for the top four: "It is still the same, if we arrive to game 33 in the same position we maybe look to Champions League, for now it is about being in the top seven positions. We have to always be positive, and focus on each match."
