What were the highlights of Aston Villa's win against Newcastle?
Harahan to Grealish, Harahan, oh yes! Grealish comes over to join Harahan, but it will be the Irishman to take, can take effectively. Villa look across for an offside flag, it's not coming, El Ghazi's touch means that in double quick time, Villa double their lead.
Three straight defeats for Villa, I remember, going into this tonight, but they've beaten Newcastle by two goals. How important for them to stop the rot at this stage, Jamie?
It was, and I think Villa Park, it's early in it, but in terms of staying up, we always talk about your home form and picking points up. home I think getting points on the road it's not a bonus you expect to pick certain points up but if you actually think of when they've produced the best performance I think of that Friday night early on the great atmosphere against Everton and certainly tonight and in both games certainly deserve to win and there has been a
fragility about Aston Villa certainly the last 10 minutes we saw the stats towards the end of that game will that just give them that extra bit of confidence they've got through with a clean sheet?
It will I mean Newcastle had moments didn't they but they were so erratic and clumsy at times in front of goal that composure which helped obviously Aston Villa but they've had three clean sheets this season all three of them have been in front of our cameras and They've got a couple of good defenders. I think ultimately, from Aston Villa's point of view, they play good football. They're going to need to win games at home because away from home, it's always difficult in the Premier League. But I think the clean sheet is critical for them.
Pleased to say we can get a reaction right now from two of Villa's heroes tonight, Conor Horahan and Jack Grealish, waiting to speak to us. Congratulations, boys.
How did Conor Hourihane and Jack Grealish perform in the match?
Conor, first, sum up just how important that is for Villa tonight.
Yeah, obviously it's a massive win for us. We've come off the back of a few defeats, so we wanted to put on a performance tonight and get the win, and lucky enough we've done that. And Jack, congratulations on the assist.
I'll tell you that.
Did you realise that was actually an assist? Oh, no straight away.
He said it to me in the celebrations, actually.
Tell us a bit about the free kick strategy then, because that's what we were debating at half-time, whether it was part of the plan or something that you spotted, a little potential frailty there.
Yeah, no, it's not something that we really, that we spotted. I just think, you know, we all know the quality that Connor has from set pieces. You know, he's shown it tonight, even in his crossing. And yeah, the last minute of the set up for it, Connor said to me, where are you obviously wanting me? And I went there, yeah, and I've set it for him and got an assist.
Jack, as I said, we mentioned the goal and the set-up at half-time, but in terms of Aston Villa being back in the Premier League and you being a local player within that team, how important is it for you and obviously the club about staying up?
What does the victory mean for Aston Villa's season?
Yeah, it's massive. I think we've got a lot of pressure on our shoulders. Out of the three teams that come up, we all know everyone was speaking about it in the summer that we spent the most. I've heard you guys say it before on Friday Night Football about how much of a big club this is. We always knew we had a bit of pressure on us, but we look at the players around us and I'm sure we can do that.
But when also, Conor, you look around your teammates and talking about yourself, someone who's played in every division of English football, do you think you have an extra hunger to succeed at this level?
Yeah, I think so, I think the squad obviously doesn't have too much Premier League experience, so I think when we all got to this level, we all had a point to prove, and we all want to stay up, and like Jack said, we've got a little bit of added pressure, because this is a massive football club, so the demand on us is high, but I think we're doing OK, it was important tonight to get a good result, like I said, because our results in the last few games haven't been great, but we're delighted with the win tonight, and I think the clean sheet as well, the defence and the keeper will be delighted with that.
