Happy Ten Hag

After the victory over Villa, Ten Hag said he was very impressed with our his side performed on the day.

He told the club’s official site: "I'm really happy with the points but also with the performance. It was impressive against a Villa side who hadn’t lost in 10 games and scored in every game.

"We were really good on the ball in the first half – magnificent. We created some really good chances through Casemiro, [Marcus] Rashford, Fernandes and [Marcel] Sabitzer, and scored. And then, in the second half, you have to make it 2-0 and you don't make it. And in the end it's going to be tough but we saw again the determination of this team."
