Aston Villa boss Emery: Olsen was brilliant

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery spoke about goalkeeper Robert Olsen after a tough game against Brighton.

The Midlands club were dealt a blow to their top four credentials by losing 1-0 on Sunday.

However, Emery was impressed with backup keeper Olsen standing in for Emi Martinez.

He stated post-game: "Brilliant. Brilliant. He played last week against Chelsea in the first half when we were struggling and we conceded two goals. Even then he saved one point.

"On Thursday we lost and conceded goals, but we had no doubts about him. Today he showed us again.

He played fantastic. We were close to drawing because he played fantastic."
