Everybody - 10/10

Actually, Kamara, 100/10, SJM, a gazillion/10

I’m too young to remember the 5-1 vs Liverpool from the 70s, how does this compare? Best performance in living memory? Better than the 7-2?

I'm 28 so I can quite comfortably say that's the best 90 mins from Villa I have ever seen.

No words.

Give Unai the statue.

I'm 40 and I can safely say the same

I'm 53 and that performance is up there with the best, considering the opposition. 12/10 every player.
I'm 73 (this week) and can't wait to see a re-run as was out playing badminton! A wonderful early b'day pressie :-)

I'm 54 and still got all me own teeth...

The best performance we’ve put in like, forever. Absolutely brilliant.

It was superb, for the most part we controlled the game. The difference Kamara made tonight was massive.

I feel a bit emotional after that.  I would say that's the best I have ever seen a Villa team play. 

Everyone was immense - but, personally, I have to say:

Bailey was amazing - I didn't think in a million years he had a performance like that in him - he was brilliant - like peak Grealish and then some.

The back four were all imperious.  But well done Carlos - who I haven't rated til now - but his physicality against Haaland was impressive and him and Pau looked so comfortable all game. 

Tielemans - was brilliant, as he has been for a few games now. McGinn also - absolute captain's performance.  Emi too - showing why hes the best in the world.

And of course - big thanks to Unai - for making all this possible.  What a time to be a Villa fan

Everyone played great. Special word for the skipper, at times it was like the ball was glued to his foot.

Doubt we can win the league because we have too many Forest/Bournemouth results, but can we make the Champions League? I think we can... but it is only December, so trying not to get too far ahead of myself here.

Still in shock we had a half decent referee

He had a really good game.
yes - was such a relief to have one that didn't make it about them.

I was worried about Haaland v Torres, but apart from the early chance the gargoyle on steroids didn’t have a sniff.

To a man, we were untouchable tonight. We have been waiting a very long time for these nights to return to VP. The crowd were immense.

Onwards and upwards. Arteta won't be sleeping well tonight.
