Axel Disasi lauded a “top result” on the road, as Aston Villa recorded a 1-0 triumph over Brentford on Saturday evening.
Ollie Watkins’ second-half strike sealed all three points for Unai Emery’s men at the Gtech Community Stadium, as Villa made it three wins in a row in all competitions.
And the defender, who was awarded the Sky Sports Player of the Match award, praised the character of the side, after a midweek Champions League win over Club Brugge.
He said: “After each game in the Champions League, it’s hard to win, but I think today we deserve these three points, because I think in the first half we played very well.
“At the beginning of the second half, we scored, and then I think we saw the character of the team.
“I think in the Premier League, we need more consistency. After the game we lost at Palace, we were hungry, and we wanted to correct it.
“I think the game today is the perfect answer, because everyone was fighting for the team, for the clean sheet, for the three points, and I think at the end we deserved this win.
“We were strong, we were working for a clean sheet, and we got it, so it’s a top result for today.”
Speaking on his personal performance, the Frenchman remained humble, before admitting how much he is enjoying his time as a Villan.
He hopes he and his teammates can continue competing, heading into Wednesday’s Champions League round of 16 second leg against Club Brugge.
“I just try to do my best, to help the team,” Disasi continued.
“I came here for that – to play and to enjoy – and I am very happy how it is going in Villa.
“Everything is top, I have a lot of confidence, and I feel good, so I’m happy.
“I think it’s still nine games to go, so we take it one game by one.
“We know we have to be higher in the league, and it will help with this kind of performance.
“We just have to stay focused. Now, we have another game on Wednesday, and I hope this kind of victory will build confidence in the team and we will keep going in this way.”
