Aston Villa defender Konsa admits Arsenal revenge was motivator

Aston Villa were motivated by revenge as they took on Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Midlands club have now won 15 home games in a row, beating Manchester City and the Gunners at Villa Park in the same week.

Defender Ezri Konsa admits that Arsenal's 4-2 win over them in February, their last home loss, still hurts.

Konsa said post-game: “It's been a long time since we lost to Arsenal here. Things have changed a lot since then.

“Our team togetherness, our shape, our style. We've changed a lot since then.

“It was a bit of sporting revenge. They came here and gave us four.

“We wanted to give them something on Saturday. And that's what we did."
