Dean Smith Lega Aston Villa Back on Winning Path

Aston Villa beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the English Premier League.

LONDON - Aston Villa coach Dean Smith said he was relieved to see his team return to winning ways. Villa beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the English Premier League continued at Villa Park, Sunday (24/1) WIB.


Two goals from Ollie Watkins and Bertrand Traore brought the three points for the hosts. This is a consolation for Villa players in the midst of the difficulties that occur.

Villa have never won in the previous three matches. The Covid-19 pandemic which spread to several core players made their performance inconsistent.




"I think our performance was quite good, especially in the first half. We were off guard in the second half even though we almost added the points. I am satisfied with Ollie Watkins' performance, it was nice to see him score an early goal," said Smith as reported by Sky Sports , Sunday (24/1) .

Smith, who is currently serving a ban to accompany his team on the sidelines, was forced to watch his men compete from the stands. Even though he couldn't direct the players directly, he felt that the Villa players were able to show an impressive performance.

"We've gone through three difficult away games and only picked one point," he said.

Currently, Villa is perched in eighth place with 29 points. Still leaving two matches, Villa has the potential to move into the Champions League zone because it is only five points away from Liverpool in fourth position.

Villa has recorded nine wins in the half of the season. Last year, they picked up nine wins over a whole season.
