  "account": "Aston Villa manager Unai Emery discussed his team's performance in a 0-0 draw with Hull City during a post-match interview on BBC's Match of the Day. Emery revealed that he and his players had planned the match in advance, aiming to control proceedings by maintaining possession and limiting transitions, free-kicks, and corners. The manager expressed satisfaction with Villa's efforts to create quality chances and stressed the importance of continued development to address certain offensive aspects of their game. Emery acknowledged the team's progress over the past four years but admitted they still had room for improvement. Concerning new arrivals, Emery noted that the players who joined the club needed time to adapt to the new environment, emphasizing the need to integrate them effectively into the team's strategy.",
  "summary": "Aston Villa have recorded just one shot on target in their opening three games of a Premier League season - the lowest total on record by any side since 2003-04. Only Manchester City (31) are on a longer ongoing unbeaten run in the Premier League against newly promoted sides than Aston Villa, with the Villans unbeaten in all 22 matches under Unai Emery (won 15, drawn seven).",
