Agbonlahor credits early Villa success to Keane

Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor says their early season success is down to experience and Roy Keane.

Agbonlahor believes the arrival of some experienced players, and Keane as assistant manager, are behind the team's positive start.

He said: "We have brought in players who know the Premier League, who know how to play at places like Anfield, and can take the tactics on board and do a job.

"I think there is more togetherness, and a bit more experience to a good group of young players.

"Also I think young players in the side see Roy Keane here and they are going to listen. He's perfect for the club and I think we needed someone like that."
