It was a perfect week in the world of Aston Villa, as two more crucial Premier League wins brought Unai Emery's side within just two points of the Premier League's top four. 

Six games in the space of six days across senior and Academy sides saw the Villans triumph 3-0 on the road at Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek, before an impressive 2-1 win over high-flying Nottingham Forest at Villa Park. 

Add to that a victory over Manchester United for Jimmy Shan's Under-18s to secure a place in the FA Youth Cup final, and there's been plenty to be positive about for those in claret and blue. 

Our players have been active across their official social media channels, and here are some of the updates you may have missed from over the past week...
