Aston Villa boss Emery on Palace thrashing: The players finished their season on Tuesday

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says his players should be embarrassed after defeat at Crystal Palace.

The Champions League qualifiers were thrashed 5-0 in the season finale.

Emery said: "When you lose 5-0 you are disappointed, and maybe a little bit embarrassed by the result. Today, we were not 100% with our power we have showed all season, and of course we did everything on Monday against Liverpool at home.

"We finished in our mind on Tuesday when we achieved our target for the season, and today we tried to have a good finish to the season but we did not play with consistency.

"It was a difficult match because they are playing very well, and secondly because we had finished in our minds the season when we achieved the result last Tuesday. We tried to compete and be organised like we have all season, but we have to accept how we have finished and how we achieved our objective last Tuesday."

Asked about his summer break, Emery added: "Yes, I need it, but I need to analyse deeply, with time, and also to enjoy the rest because the season was really tough.

"We achieved a lot but we demanded a lot of the players, so we have to rest and prepare professionally but also take time on decisions."
