Aston Villa's recent upturn in form continued as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over Norwich City in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Steven Gerrard's side came into the game off the back of a narrow defeat at the hands of Liverpool, but got back to winning ways thanks to goals from Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins.
And while the former took his goal well, it was Emi Buendia's performance that really caught the eye for Villa.
The Argentine star of course was back on his old stomping ground at Carrow Road following his summer move from the Canaries, and it certainly felt like he was keen on reminding his former club just what they are now missing out on.
The little play-maker relished being a key part of the Villa attack, playing some superb one-touch passes and being a constant menace for the Norwich City defence.
As per Sofascore, only Douglas Luiz boasted a better passing accuracy than him among those players who started, while he provided the second-most key passes and crosses on the night too.
He was always looking to drive forward with the ball and that was unsurprisingly reflected by the fact he attempted seven dribbles - more than four of the man in second, Watkins.
During the game, The Athletic's Gregg Evans simply tweeted: "Buendia is in the mood tonight. Rolls it through Cantwell's legs, draws a huge cheer from the away end and helps win a corner. #AVFC looking good..."
And, writing in his post-match player ratings for The Birmingham Mail, Ashley Preece gave him an eight, saying: "Started well and really entertained, popping first-time passes into his teammates and flicking little ones around the corner. Buendia strutted his stuff out there and even nut-megged his pal Cantwell which he enjoyed.
"The only gripe is that Buendia doesn't carry much of a goal threat with his best work coming outside of the 18-yard box. Enjoyed himself out there. The Argentinian had a couple of efforts blocked in the second half as Norwich made sure he didn't score. A majestic performance nonetheless."
While Ramsey will no doubt steal the headlines for his excellent finish and his continued improvement this season, Buendia put in the kind of statement-making performance that surely had Gerrard purring about what's to come.
