The reaction 🎙 

"Winning was the most important thing, but to win so convincingly is a great boost for us. I thought we played brilliantly. We are a really decent side going forward. Ashley Young and John Carew were both absolutely outstanding. Ashley couldn't have done any more in front of Fabio Capello. We're still there fighting for the Uefa Cup."

Martin O'Neill

Aston Villa Manager



"We were on the end of a bruising from a really good Villa side. Villa's front men were on fire and we were unable to string any passes together until the second half. You have to say that Villa's agenda is totally different to ours - the bottom line is that they are a better team."
