It's a long way back for Westham as Aston villa has made their second goal of the match with a penalty kick from Douglas Luiz just in the 52 mins of the the game after his (Douglas) blow shot in the first half giving Villa a lead in the scoreline. For Villa it's been an excellent team work for them in this game exercise their home advantage over the visitors Westham who have only managed to get a 1 goal through a flick deflection which has somehow awaken Westham impetus in the match trying their very best now in an energetic play to equalize the scores and possibly get a come back in this game.
Previously, I thought the match between Aston Villa against West Ham would be a very difficult and tight match. But that doesn't seem to be the case, because the fact is that Aston Villa managed to win big with a score of 4-1 and of course, I personally really didn't expect Aston Villa to win with a very good score like this. So yes, with this good victory and also, about the great improvement that was successfully realized for Aston Villa, then I think this is also the success of Unai Emery. Because after all, before Aston Villa did not even have a good dominance of victory when Aston Villa played against West Ham from record in the head to head. But in this moment, Unai Emery managed to provide very good results for Aston Villa, obviously this is a great improvement.
Unai Emery is a great coach and Aston Villa were lucky to sign him. Apparently, Emery is much more comfortable managing strong, average teams like Aston Villa, Sevilla or Villarreal. He does better in such cases than with PSG or Arsenal (although Arsenal were quite good under his leadership then, but Emery was just caught up in the departure of old leaders and transfer problems).
Maybe like with Sevilla and Villereal, he can win the Europa League with Aston Villa.
Before this defeat West Ham had a draw and 3 wins, so in general Aston Villa did not look outright favorite, but probably no one thought about 4 goals, but Wally Watkins as usual decided to score a goal, and Douglas Luis scored 2. And now Louis has 5 goals since the beginning of the season, and last season he scored only 6, so the progress is obvious.
