Aston Villa were held to a goalless draw by Ajax in the first leg of their Europa Conference League last-16 tie.
Emiliano Martinez produced the save of the match midway through the second half to keep out Kenneth Taylor's left-footed strike that seemed destined for the back of the net. Emery's side have been formidable at home this season and set a record of 15 consecutive home league wins, beating Treble winners Manchester City and Arsenal along the way and keeping eight clean sheets.
Villa boss Emery said: "I'm happy, we didn't play well, we didn't control the game like we prepared and like we usually do but I accept that as well.
