Lambert praises Villa owner Lerner after impressive win

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert was delighted with their impressive win over Hull City.

Lambert believes owner Randy Lerner's honesty over his desire to sell the club has contributed to their best Barclays Premier League start in eight years.

It s their best opening three-game return since 2006/07 and a far cry from the embattled atmosphere that shrouded the club towards the end of last season.

"I think what has helped is the chairman coming out and saying what he said," explained Lambert.

"That's given people a clear picture of what is happening.

"Everybody knows the situation with the football club now, the way it is, it's out there.

"The chairman's being great, he's done everything he can here.

"The crowd have galvanised as well. They've realised if they stick with it and get right behind it I'm pretty sure we'll win more than not."
