Unai Emery, the esteemed tactician at the helm of Aston Villa, has declared his charges were. �fantastic. � and deserved the lion. �s share of the points after their pulsating 2. 2 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor. Speaking exclusively to GoalZaza, the Spanish gaffer expressed his pride in a performance that saw his side take the game to the Clarets with clinical intent and resolute defensive organisation. In the scheme of things, Emery. �s men came away with a single point, but the Villa manager was emphatic that his team had given a good account of themselves on a difficult away pitch. The match was a test of character for the West Midlands club, who had to dig deep after surrendering an early lead, but Emery. �s tactical adjustments kept them in the contest until the final whistle. At the end of the day, football honours were shared, but the powers that be at Villa Park will feel this was one that slipped through their fingers. Now, for the Nigerian football faithful gathered at viewing centres in Surulere and Wuse, the tension was palpable as the Super Eagles connections on the pitch caught their eye. Local fans, decked in their club jerseys and chanting for their heroes, saw familiar faces like Leon Bailey, a Jamaican international but with the kind of explosive pace that reminds Lagos viewers of a certain Victor Osimhen tearing up the Serie A. Every time Bailey cut inside on his left boot, the crowd in the centre roared as if they were at the stadium themselves. And when Burnley fought back, the groans in Abuja. �s Garki viewing centres were loud enough to wake the neighbours. At the end of the day, the draw left many fans arguing over the referee. �s decisions, with some insisting that Villa, with a Nigerian international like Alex Iwobi missing from the starting eleven due to a minor knock, would have won with his creative spark. The general consensus among the passionate supporters with their cold bottles of Maltina and packs of groundnut was that Emery. �s side is building something formidable. They are already looking forward to the next match day, hoping the Villa gaffer will unleash his full attacking arsenal.
