‘We could have scored more’

ASTON VILLA assistant manager Gary McAllister praised his team’s performance against Arsenal by saying that his side could have gone three or four goals up.

Villa went 2-0 up in the first half at the Emirates Stadium, as Darren Bent took advantage of some slack Arsenal defending, and McAllister was delighted with his team’s performance.

“It’s been a good day,” he said, “a good performance and a great result. There’s very little that I can fault. As an attacking force in the first half we were excellent and then in the second half we knew they would come at us in numbers and as a team we defended really well.
