Emi Buendia

[Dave]

Day of days for him, redemption arch complete

Properly goes down in Villa history

[jwarry]

Now a Billa legend ❤️

[DrGonzo]

I’ve given him props all season, and he may not be our player of the season, but he is the player that has delivered more than any of us expected. Big love to you EMI B

[Smirker]

Absolutely a Villa legend.

Thanks for being stubborn and not leaving.

Little Emi

I’ve given him props all season, and he may not be our player of the season...

Reckon he's a solid shout for silver medal though.

By an absolute mile. Even in our tentative enough first 30 mins his touch and movement was excellent. Kind of Savo esque but technically better goal if anything.

[Mellin]

Best player across the last two games of winning a European trophy. That'll do, Emi. That'll do.

Best player across the last two games of winning a European trophy. That'll do, Emi. That'll do.

Has he repaid his transfer fee yet?

[Sexual Ealing]

Probably booked a place at the World Cup too.

Our little wizard

[Goldie.7]

11 goals and 9 assists so far this season is superb. If some of those shots that hit the woodwork had gone in, and a couple of those Ollie misses had been converted, he would be neck and neck with Rogers, who has 14 goals and 11 assists.

Last match with City on the beach will be interesting. Player of the season isn't decided just yet...

Unai Emery on Emi Buendia: "Even when I substituted him at 80 minutes, he was angry. Two days ago he didn't train. I spoke with him this morning, 'Are you ok? Are you 100%? Yes? Then play'. When I changed him he was angry. It's his competitive way. I understand it."

What a performance by Emi he was just magical. 

[eye digress]

The comeback kid.

What a breathtaking goal. Though a bit like SJM on Friday, you just knew he was going to squeeze it in top bins.

Let's hope that seals his place in the Argentina WC squad.
