And things went from bad to worse for Emery’s side as Joao Gomes, on his debut, saw himself sent off for kicking out at Georginio Rutter.
The clash finished 4-0 and represented a shocking beginning for Villa, who have lost multiple key names from their squad this summer.
Stars like Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne have all left Villa Park.
