  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Now, manager Emery has hailed the England star's abilities, and believes that he and his Villa players can help the 27-year-old get back to his best consistently.

• WHAT EMERY SAID

  Emery told reporters: "Fantastic. He is personally feeling better, comfortable, confident. Scoring goals of course is I think adding the confidence he needs, and of course helping us.

  "I think the challenge we have – the club, the team, the squad and himself – is really one huge challenge to try to get together something, helping each one in our capacity to recover his best performances, and as well, adding us his qualities and his assists and his goals."
