Emi Buendia was left frustrated after missing a golden opportunity during Aston Villa’s clash with Hull City, with Ashley Young admitting the attacking midfielder will be hugely disappointed that he failed to find the net.
Buendia found himself in a promising position and had a chance to make a real difference for Villa, but his effort ultimately failed to beat the goalkeeper.
It was a moment that could have changed the complexion of the contest and one the Argentine will likely look back on with regret.
Young, speaking after the match, acknowledged just how difficult the moment would be for Buendia, particularly given the quality of the opportunity that presented itself.
“He’s going to be so disappointed it didn’t go in” 😫
The former Villa captain’s comments underline the fine margins involved in matches at this level, where one clear-cut chance can often prove decisive.

Buendia will now be hoping to put the miss behind him and respond positively in Villa’s next fixture.
The midfielder remains an important option for the side, and his ability to create opportunities and contribute in the final third could prove crucial as the season progresses.
For Young, the missed chance was simply one of those moments that can happen in football.
Buendia will know he had an excellent opportunity, but there will be plenty of chances to make amends as Villa look ahead to their next challenge.
