Villa's run delights O'Neill

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has praised his side's efforts after their 4-0 win over Blackburn. Villa are doing particularly well away from home, and the win at Ewood Park was a brilliant result for the Villains.

O'Neill said: "I'm delighted with a win of any sort. But I'm especially delighted to have got four on the spot, and three of those away from home."

He added: "It's great for us, and confidence is very high at the moment. I thought for the first half-hour we were second-best. But our big goals are turning games, and I thought our second-half performance was excellent.
