The victory over FC Basel has left Villa tied at the top of the competition's table, and Emery noted that it was a crucial match for the team to stay in the top eight.

Emery praised the team's performance, saying they successfully managed to maintain their momentum and secure the win.

However, the team faced a difficult challenge in the last 10-15 minutes of the match, as FC Basel pushed hard and created several scoring opportunities.

Despite the pressure, Villa was able to compete well and maintain their lead, and Emery expressed his happiness with the team's progress in the Europa League.

Emery stated that the team is working to set and achieve targets, and that they are focusing on maintaining consistency and a competitive spirit.

The team will look to continue this momentum in their next match against West Ham on Sunday in London.
