EMERY ENDS PEP HOODOO

Villa boss gets first win over old rival

- Neil Moxley

LEON BAILEY set Villa Park alight as Unai Emery finally got his man.

The Jamaica international bagged a superb solo strike as records went tumbling at Villa's fortress.

Bailey struck a deserved winner 16 minutes from time as Emery, right, put one over Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola at the 14th attempt.

Aston Villa sent out a message that they are a force to be reckoned with this season with a triumph that equalled a record stretching back to 1932 of 14 successive victories at their famous old stadium. But more impressive than that was how this was earned. City may have been reeling from the shock of seeing Tottenham bag a late equaliser at the Etihad at the weekend.
