Emiliano Martinez labelled Aston Villa manager Unai Emery "one of the top five managers in the world" ahead of their Europa Conference League clash against AZ Alkmaar.

Tuesday marked a year since Emery took over the Midlands club, in which time he has guided them to a seventh place finish in the Premier League and has them sitting in the top five this term.
