Barry says Man City players happy to grind out win at Villa

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 03:05

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry says they were delighted with the manner of victory at Aston Villa.

After a run of just one victory in their previous six away games, the result was a crucial one for manager Roberto Mancini's side.

Barry said: "We played some great stuff early this season, winning games by scoring three, four goals. Now it's all about the three points.

"We've had a few scrappy games like this recently where we haven't managed to get three points, and even lost them, so it's all about the win.

"At this stage of the season any away game is going to be tough, so it was a massive three points for us.

"The away form has also been a bit up and down. People had started questioning it, so it was important to put that to bed with a win, and we did that well."
