WATCH: Villarreal coach Emery enjoys winding up cheeky Southampton fans

Villarreal coach Unai Emery enjoyed winding up cheeky Southampton fans after yesterday's friendly win at St Mary's.

As Arsenal manager, Emery failed to win the fans over and was even mocked during his time at the Emirates Stadium after taking over from long-serving boss Arsene Wenger, not just for their fortunes on the pitch, but for his grasp of the English language.

Saints fans lined up outside St Mary's after Villarreal's 2-1 pre-season friendly win.

As they asked for autographs, one said: 'Can you say, 'Unai Emery, good ebening,'' in reference to the way he always started press conferences.

Emery gave a polite smile and then one quipped: 'Unai Emery I think you done very good at Arsenal.'

The 50-year-old responded in a hilarious manner, as stuck his middle finger up at the lads, while staring into the camera and nodding - much to the disbelief of the fans.
