Emery's intriguing dressing rooms notes before Villa's 3-1 win over Bournemouth

Unai Emery's dressing room notes for Aston Villa's recent game against Bournemouth have been revealed.

Villa went on to came out on top with a 3-1 victory to maintain their hope of qualifying for the Champions League.

The result saw the Midlands club extend their lead over Tottenham, who did not play that weekend due to Manchester City's involvement in the FA Cup semi-final.

Emery will have been satisfied with his side's performance given the number of instructions he gave before the match.

In his notes prior to the game he wrote at the top of his dressing room notes: ' To win, clean sheet, 66 points'.

Emery also challenged his players to ' keep being consistent', 'impose our game plan' for 90 minutes, play with 'personal. ty', and to 'be focus (ed)'.

Some generic words such as 'attack', 'defend', 'competitive', 'mentality' and 'winning' were also on the board.

Aston Villa's only failing came from the fact they conceded as Dominic Solanke gave Bournemouth the lead from the penalty spot.

Villa then responded before the break through Morgan Rogers' strike on the stroke of half-time.

Moussa Diaby scored from close-range after the break before Leon Bailley sealed the win for Emery's side.

Villa failed to build on from the win over Bournemouth last weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Chelsea.

But they remain in the driving sit to secure fourth spot with three games remaining of the season.
