Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says the aim is for his side to be consistent in Europe after beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Villa Park was treated to a special night, beating the German titans in front of a packed out crowd.
Jhon Duran was the hero, lobbing Manuel Neuer late in the second half to send the stadium into raptures.
Emiliano Martinez was also a hero for the team in claret, pulling off a couple of brilliant saves in added time.
And Emery was delighted with the performance, but warned his players that they must find consistency to progress deep into the knockout rounds of the competition.
Speaking to TNT Sports, he said: “We want to be consistent to play in Europe [regularly].
Aston Villa were just above the relegation zone when Unai Emery arrived at the club two years ago.
They’re now winning Champions League games against some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

“We are working with him [Duran].
#”Most important is his attitude. He’s available to play 90, 60, 30 minutes. He’s been focusing each minute he’s playing.
“Today we had two very good strikers. It’s fantastic for him and the team.
“Against teams like that, it’s very important to be strong. Martinez did an amazing job, amazing saves.
“We have to try to play each match. We compete very well, we won. Maybe we can get the first eight positions.”
Villa have now marked two wins out of two in the Champions League, beating Young Boys comfortably away from home in their opener.
Next up is a home tie against Bologna, who Liverpool beat 2-0 on Wednesday night.
