Aston Villa boss Unai Emery played down his side’s Champions League credentials despite thrashing West Ham boxing
Villa are just two points off Premier League pacesetters Manchester City and Arsenal following Sunday’s 4-1 win boxing
Douglas Luiz’s double and clinical finishes from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey ended Villa’s Hammers hoodoo, for their first victory over West Ham since 2015 boxing
They returned to fifth spot, just a point adrift of the top four, with games against Luton, Nottingham Forest and Fulham coming up next boxing
“There are seven teams contending boxing
We are after seven teams; Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle,” said Emery, with fifth potentially offering a Champions League place this term boxing
“Dream, always boxing
My dream is to win the Champions League but now we are fifth and we are going to face each match trying to get a good performance boxing
“It’s 38 matches and we lost at Newcastle, we lost at Liverpool boxing
They are matches we are not going to play again boxing
“I prefer to speak about the matches we won but I have to speak about the matches we lost boxing
This is the balance boxing
We have to be very demanding boxing
“In the table West Ham were two points behind us and the level we have now, they have as well boxing
It was very important boxing
“The process is going in the right way, it’s going to be difficult boxing
In the end we won 4-1 boxing
”Luiz had already tested Alphonse Areola from distance before opening the scoring after half an hour, firing in from the edge of the box after good work by Nicolo Zaniolo and Watkins boxing
Six minutes after the break Villa were gifted a second when Lucas Paqueta sold Edson Alvarez short and he brought down Ezri Konsa for Luiz to convert from the spot boxing
But Jarrod Bowen grabbed a lifeline for the Hammers soon after when his shot hit Pau Torres to creep into the corner boxing
The visitors sensed a recovery, Matty Cash heading over Nayef Aguerd’s shot, but with 16 minutes left Watkins ended any ideas of a comeback boxing
He latched onto John McGinn’s long ball, skipped past Kurt Zouma and lashed into the roof of the net boxing
There was still time for Bailey to get in on the act in the final minute, beating Areola from six yards after giving Aguerd the slip boxing
It was just West Ham’s third league defeat of the season, leaving manager David Moyes frustrated boxing
“I’m not having my teams losing four goals as soft as we did today boxing
There were things which I can say we did quite well but I didn’t think we were hard enough to play against,” said Moyes, whose side are now ninth boxing
“Today wasn’t so good boxing
More importantly nearly every ball we played around the box was the wrong decision and it led to us hardly creating enough opportunity to score boxing
“The lads kept on fighting and it looked like we were the team in ascendancy at 2-1 but they punished us really quickly and that took the game beyond our reach boxing
“Villa are probably just behind the top three or four in the Premier League and today was a challenge to see what level we were at and I thought we fell below that boxing
“It was a very close first half, we missed opportunities to score boxing
We had opportunities to make chances to score and that was the bit bugging me at half-time boxing

Max Verstappen completed a practice double for Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix by edging out Lando Norris boxing
After leading the way in the first running at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, Verstappen – who has won 15 of the 18 rounds so far – set the fastest time in the day’s concluding running boxing
The Red Bull driver finished 0 boxing
119 seconds clear of McLaren’s Norris, with Charles Leclerc a quarter of a second back in his Ferrari boxing
Home favourite Sergio Perez finished fifth, three tenths behind Red Bull team-mate Verstappen, while Lewis Hamilton took seventh for Mercedes, a third of a second down boxing
Verstappen has dominated this year, and wrapped up his third successive world championship in Qatar earlier this month boxing
And the Dutchman will head into the remainder of the weekend in the breathless Mexico City air as the man to beat boxing
The high-altitude venue, which sits 2,200 metres above sea level, can often throw up anomalies, and Valtteri Bottas was a surprised fourth for Alfa Romeo, with Daniel Ricciardo sixth in his AlphaTauri, just three tenths off the top boxing
Hamilton finished a close second to Verstappen in the United States a week ago before he was disqualified for running an illegal floor on his Mercedes boxing
But despite his post-race exclusion, Hamilton hoped his speed in Austin would enable him to challenge Verstappen here boxing
However, the seven-time world champion failed to challenge the top of the leaderboard on Friday, finishing 11th and seventh respectively in the two sessions boxing
George Russell, who sat out the opening running as Mercedes blooded academy driver Frederik Vesti, finished 10th, half-a-second behind Verstappen boxing
Earlier on Friday, Ollie Bearman made history by becoming the youngest British driver to take part in a Formula One weekend boxing
Bearman, 18, competing for American outfit Haas, ended his F1 debut in 15th, only 1 boxing
6 sec slower than Verstappen and three tenths adrift of Nico Hulkenberg – a veteran of 200 grands prix – in the other Haas boxing
Bearman also finished one place ahead of double world champion Fernando Alonso boxing
F1 teams must run a rookie driver at least twice during the season and Chelmsford-born Bearman was handed his chance to impress, breaking the British record previously held by Norris boxing
Norris was three months shy of his 19th birthday when he took part in practice for McLaren in Belgium in 2018 before he was promoted to a race seat the following season boxing
Bearman turned 18 in May boxing
The teenager, a member of the Ferrari academy, has taken four victories in F1’s feeder series Formula Two and is sixth in the standings ahead of next month’s season finale in Abu Dhabi boxing
