Álvarez's assist led to Emerson's equalizer, earning West Ham a valuable point.
He stated post-game: “It’s a pleasing afternoon. We know it’s very difficult to pick up points here, and I think we could’ve scored a couple more goals.
“We knew coming here that it is always very intense playing away at Aston Villa, so we tried to control the game and gradually get more of the ball. In the second half, I think we did very well.
“As I mentioned, I think we should have scored one or two more. But, this is football, and we’ll take the point and try to build on this going forward.”
