'We have to be ambitious and play better but the process needs time': Unai Emery insists his Aston Villa side will continue to take risks despite the defensive errors that saw his team suffer 4-2 home defeat to Leicester

Unai Emery urged Aston Villa to continue taking risks in possession despite the dire defending that handed struggling Leicester a shock victory.

Trying to play out from the back, Boubacar Kamara was robbed inside his own box leading to the equaliser for James Maddison, moments after Villa had taken the lead through Ollie Watkins.

And even though Watkins put Villa ahead again, further errors in defence led to goals for Kelechi Iheanacho, Tete and Dennis Praet.

This was only Emery’s second league defeat since succeeding Steven Gerrard and he is in no mood to change his ways.
