Emery praises Duran's form as Villa boss

He expressed, "I am delighted! I hope our players will push each other to elevate their skills and contribute their unique attributes to the team."

“There are two strikers in good form and they played together last year sometimes. We can repeat that again, better than last year because when they played together they weren’t in good connection on the pitch.

“I think Jhon Durán is getting more mature and he’s getting confidence. Ollie Watkins after his small problems and trying to get fitness quickly, is progressively feeling better.

“They can play individually or they can play together. I want the best from them from here until the end of the season. I am happy with those players in this form.”
