UNAI EMERY was knocked off his Euro perch-by a boy from his own backyard.

Aston Villa's boss has built up a lofty reputation following Europa League successes with Sevilla and Villarreal.

But he met his match last night as Olympiakos chief Jose Luis Mendilibar - a fellow masterminded a Basque stunning triumph over the Premier League high-fliers.

With the help of hat-trick hero Ayoub El Kaabi he put the brakes on Villa's march in the Europa Conference League. It was, however, some game.
