O’Neill: Euro dream still alive

MARTIN O’NEILL has promised Aston Villa will not give up their Champions League place without a fight after slumping to defeat at Manchester City last night.

The 2-0 reverse means Villa have gone six games without a win, and while three of those were cup matches, their once strong position in the top four is suddenly under attack from Arsenal, who are just three points adrift.

Yet O’Neill insists his team are not getting nervous – and he has vowed the struggle will continue through the final 10 games of an arduous campaign.
