Emery impressed by Malen and backs striker after objects thrown during Villa win
"Aston Villa edged closer to Europa League knockout qualification with a 2-1 win over Young Boys, thanks to Donyell Malen's brace. Malen struck twice before half-time, sharp and lively, taking his season total to six and leaving Villa well in control. But his second strike set off flashpoints behind the goal, with Young Boys supporters launching cups and other objects towards celebrating players in the corner."
""He's progressively getting better. Progressively he is getting fit and he played with his national team (Netherlands). " He is doing his tasks over his goals and for me the most important thing is how he is working, how he is getting fit and better. "Doing his tasks like we are tactically demanding from each player and then he's getting numbers, which is fantastic. He's helping us and really performing very good and keeps going.""
Donyell Malen scored twice before half-time to give Aston Villa a 2-1 lead, taking his season tally to six and putting Villa in control. His second goal triggered crowd trouble when Young Boys supporters launched cups and objects toward celebrating players; one cup struck Malen and cut his head. Police and stewards intervened and the match was halted for five minutes while order was restored. Loris Benito crossed to address the crowd and tension remained briefly. Villa regained composure, saw out the win despite a late Joel Monteiro goal, and Unai Emery praised Malen's fitness and tactical work.
