Danny Ings was left delighted after the goals flowed for Aston Villa against Southampton at Villa Park.
The striker and his teammates gave the visitors a torrid time during a 4-0 home win, with Ings, Ollie Watkins, Douglas Luiz and Philippe Coutinho all finding the net.
Ings was pleased to see the Villans show their ruthless streak.
He said: “There were definitely areas we could have been better – in possession we could have been better – but overall, we’re delighted with that performance.
“On the back of last week, it was a completely different game and to come off scoring four goals, it’s a big win. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going.
He added: “It was a strange game. We could have been better with the ball, but in the final third we were really clinical and that makes the difference in the Premier League.”
Three points in B6 moves Villa to within two points of ninth place Saints, who had been on a six-game unbeaten run.
Ings scored 46 times in 100 games for Southampton before moving to Villa last summer, and playing against his former side left him with mixed emotions.
“For me, it was a strange day because I’ve got so much respect for Southampton. They gave me an opportunity after I left Liverpool to get my career back on track,” he said.
“Mixed emotions. For us, it was a great win and hopefully we can move forward from here.
“It’s such a tough league. Having two wins, it’s so important to keep that momentum going.
“We’re looking to go on a run and see where it takes us.”
