Aston Villa boss Unai Emery played down his side’s Champions League credentials despite thrashing West Ham boxing
Villa are just two points off Premier League pacesetters Manchester City and Arsenal following Sunday’s 4-1 win boxing
Douglas Luiz’s double and clinical finishes from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey ended Villa’s Hammers hoodoo, for their first victory over West Ham since 2015 boxing
They returned to fifth spot, just a point adrift of the top four, with games against Luton, Nottingham Forest and Fulham coming up next boxing
“There are seven teams contending boxing
We are after seven teams; Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle,” said Emery, with fifth potentially offering a Champions League place this term boxing
“Dream, always boxing
My dream is to win the Champions League but now we are fifth and we are going to face each match trying to get a good performance boxing
“It’s 38 matches and we lost at Newcastle, we lost at Liverpool boxing
They are matches we are not going to play again boxing
“I prefer to speak about the matches we won but I have to speak about the matches we lost boxing
This is the balance boxing
We have to be very demanding boxing
“In the table West Ham were two points behind us and the level we have now, they have as well boxing
It was very important boxing
“The process is going in the right way, it’s going to be difficult boxing
In the end we won 4-1 boxing
”Luiz had already tested Alphonse Areola from distance before opening the scoring after half an hour, firing in from the edge of the box after good work by Nicolo Zaniolo and Watkins boxing
Six minutes after the break Villa were gifted a second when Lucas Paqueta sold Edson Alvarez short and he brought down Ezri Konsa for Luiz to convert from the spot boxing
But Jarrod Bowen grabbed a lifeline for the Hammers soon after when his shot hit Pau Torres to creep into the corner boxing
The visitors sensed a recovery, Matty Cash heading over Nayef Aguerd’s shot, but with 16 minutes left Watkins ended any ideas of a comeback boxing
He latched onto John McGinn’s long ball, skipped past Kurt Zouma and lashed into the roof of the net boxing
There was still time for Bailey to get in on the act in the final minute, beating Areola from six yards after giving Aguerd the slip boxing
It was just West Ham’s third league defeat of the season, leaving manager David Moyes frustrated boxing
“I’m not having my teams losing four goals as soft as we did today boxing
There were things which I can say we did quite well but I didn’t think we were hard enough to play against,” said Moyes, whose side are now ninth boxing
“Today wasn’t so good boxing
More importantly nearly every ball we played around the box was the wrong decision and it led to us hardly creating enough opportunity to score boxing
“The lads kept on fighting and it looked like we were the team in ascendancy at 2-1 but they punished us really quickly and that took the game beyond our reach boxing
“Villa are probably just behind the top three or four in the Premier League and today was a challenge to see what level we were at and I thought we fell below that boxing
“It was a very close first half, we missed opportunities to score boxing
We had opportunities to make chances to score and that was the bit bugging me at half-time boxing

England backed up a 42-7 opening romp past Australia with another clinical performance, almost identical in terms of winning margin but a little more complicated than the numbers suggest boxing
Ellie Kildunne drew first blood on eight minutes, pouncing on a fumble behind the Canadian try line to dot down and Holly Aitchison, perfect from the tee against Australia, making her first conversion boxing
In the 20 minutes that followed, Canada gain a foothold through a strong set piece and England experienced a rare spell on the back foot, their opponents moving the ball well boxing
Canada burst through and were only denied a try when Aitchison knocked down a pass, for which she saw yellow, and Emily Tuttosi finished off a lineout drive to make it 7-5 on 30 minutes boxing
Having been briefly beaten at their own game at the lineout, England riposte was swift and brutal, Atkin-Davies crashing over twice from rolling mauls before the half-time whistle blew boxing
Canada landed a second blow when Shoshanah Seumanutafa picked up a loose ball and Paige Farries ran 50 metres to reduce the arrears boxing
But it was one way traffic from there, Atkin-Davies scoring another two tries in five minutes and their opponents going down to 14 with Julia Schell sin-binned for a dangerous tackle boxing
England added sheen to the scoreline in the closing minutes as Jess Breach notched her 35th England try and Claudia MacDonald crossed boxing

England captain Marlie Packer said: "Full credit to Canada, they came at us for the full 80 minutes as we knew they would, but the way we finished the game is something I'm super proud of boxing
"It's about the team, they are all phenomenal players boxing
I want to put my best performance on whenever I get on the pitch boxing
"Deacon added: "It was a good game, a very tough game, exactly what we needed boxing
I'm pleased we were tested by Canada, especially around the set pieces boxing
"::All matches will be broadcast live so back your nation on ITV X boxing
