Aston Villa Owner unai emery He said his team will have to be more clinical from the penalty spot after the setback Europa League to defeat dutch Go ahead, Eagles.
Emiliano Buendia missed a late spot-kick as Villa squandered an early lead and fell to a 2–1 defeat at Deventer.
Ivan Gessand set them up for their sixth consecutive win in all competitions, but they missed several chances to tie the game down and goals either side of half-time from Mathis Suure and Mats Djell gave Go Ahead a famous victory in one of the biggest games in their history.
Buendia could have started the comeback but he struck hard in the 77th minute.
It was Villa’s sixth missed penalty in the last 12 months, Ollie Watkins missed against Bologna earlier this season, while they also lost a penalty shootout to Brentford in the Carabao Cup last month.
“Today the responsibility belonged to Emiliano Buendia,” he said. “And normally he has good numbers shooting penalties, but he missed.
“Of course, something can happen, and we will try to be more clinical in the penalty shoot than in the previous penalties.
“Our buyers are clear. Buendia was there today, (Jadon) Sancho, John McGinn, Morgan (Rogers) can also shoot penalties.
“And, of course, Emiliano can repeat, but the idea is to try to be so responsible about the decisions and about the people who score.”
Emery says unexpected losses are certainly par for the course, with Villa often coming off European days without a win over the past three seasons.
“And today showed us how difficult it is to play in Europe, to play away,” he said.
“That’s why I like football, because there are so many different ways to win in football. You can dominate, like we did, you have chances to score, but if we’re missing some chances, maybe you can lose. And we did.
“Of course, I had a lot of experiences like today, and with Aston Villa we also have a lot of experiences like today.
“And sometimes we were performing very well and winning, and sometimes not winning. And this year, Feyenoord (On the second day of the match) we were not playing very well.
“And today maybe we had more chances than them but we lost. And this is football. But we are very, very demanding, deeply analyzing why you are better than the opponent but you are losing.
“But it’s no surprise to me. It’s no surprise, football is unpredictable.”
Go Ahead is a provincial club located 60 miles east of Amsterdam that was most recently playing in the Dutch second tier in 2021.
They had won the Dutch Cup the previous season but match-winner Dejal explained the historic nature of the victory.
“I think we’ve had a lot of big wins over the last few years, the big one of which was undoubtedly the cup final,” he said.
“I think everyone expected us to have a really tough time in Europe, and I don’t think anyone expected us to do it the way we did.
“So we’re very happy. And of course, this could be the biggest win we’ve ever had here for this club.”
