A quick word for Brighton. What a superb club. And to come to Villa Park and play the way they do is just remarkable. How do they do it?!

What a story, honestly. Obviously, credit to Aston Villa for the way they played today. But to see Brighton so fearlessly passing the ball around and having courage in possession even when 5-1 down, it really speaks to the transformation de Zerbi has made at the club. Their fans will be pinching themselves!

A privilege to see them today. What they produce every week is astonishing.

Champions League place after this weekend if either Spurs lose or Arsenal fail to win
I reckon one of those is going to happen. Namely Spurs getting a pasting.

Can't wait to hear the thoughts of the lads at VP today as to how excited they must have been to see how press-resistant Billy Gilmour is in the flesh!

They're getting very good at helping us out.

I was in awe of Mitoma; he was a perpetual threat. Seeing him on the Villa Park turf is a memory to pass on to one's grandchildren.

An excellent performance, if you just talk about the league it’s been remarkable since Unai came in and we haven’t seen anything like this for years. Torres best performance so far, such a good footballing centre back and with a bit more time and development it’ll give the team a new dimension. Diaby is our best outfield player in general I think, he was great again today but Watkins was man of the match obviously. Cash, McGinn, Luiz and Konsa all brilliant too, Martinez as ever. Looked dangerous every time we went forward with attacks being built from the back. Just outstanding.

Oh yes, and Ramsey will be back in the 11 on that performance, no doubt.

A special mention for Cash, hardly gave Mitoma a touch.

Another special mention to Super John McGinn, so industrious with the vision and ability to take control of the game.

Brilliant win, serious credit to Emery for getting such a tune out of the group after the debacle on Wed. Looking forward to watching it back later. Never underestimate Ollie Watkins!

Wow - unreal - what a performance.  Everyone at there best - especially impressed with the way we responded after they pulled one back - so many villa teams of old would have end up drawing that - or at the very least - made it very nervy.

Shows whats a world class managers worth.  Brilliant to see Ramsey back and looking good.  Thought Diaby and Watkins were unplayable at times.  Luiz is really looking absolutely world-class at the moment - on current form he is as good as a midfielder I've seen play for the Villa.  Konsa looked great, and Matty Cash and Digne both worked very hard - Cash did excellently at both ends of the pitch.

Well done everyone - brilliant to see.

Prior to the game, I thought our defence wasn't quite there and might be too disjointed, but boy did they shut me up! They defence were excellent, for probably the first time this season. Everyone was sharp, no sloppy passes, just very classy football throughout.

Amazing result, Villa on the march!

I thought the Chelsea game was the first signs of the defence getting close to what they did last season. Pau looks settled and Konsa's game has stepped up.

Where do I start with that game?

Amazing result, great to see some confidence building in the team, Ollie scoring goals for fun again - defence looking solid again.

Great performance, we finally administered the tonking that we threaten to do every now and then.

I wish commentators wouldn’t say teams are “off” when they come to Villa - these are teams that would demolish us given half a chance, play excellent football and deserve a crack in the top few of the league. Where they are wrong is that it’s actually us playing really well - we are frustrating them, playing aggressively and pressing hard. And generally being ruthless.

It’s not so much teams having bad days when they come to us, it’s us not letting them have a good day.

3-0 down in 25 minutes will destroy the mindset of any team out there.

Man, I am so proud of our team right now.
