Leon Bailey hails Aston Villa thumping of Brentford: It shows we're a good team

Leon Bailey hailed Aston Villa's unity for their victory over Brentford.

Managerless Villa won 4-0 on Sunday.

"I think it was brilliant in terms of how we played as a team, how we were there for each other," he told VillaTV.

“As we went back into the dressing room after the game, we saw a clip of the 89th minute where they had a corner, they countered and the whole team was sprinting behind the ball.

“And for us, that shows we're a good team, we know what we're about and that's what we need to win games.

“Hopefully this can be the mentality moving forwards.

“So, it was brilliant, everybody individually and collectively – the staff, the fans, everybody was on their feet doing what they needed to do to support.

“Obviously, this game was very important for us and I'm just really happy we were able to deliver like that."
