Man City's Milner: All about points at this stage of season

James Milner says victory at Aston Villa was all about the three points for Manchester City.

With 13 games to go and the title on the line, Milner also knows it is not how you win that counts, but simply that you do win.

"Three points is three points, and that's the main thing," said Milner.

"We played well against Villa, and probably didn't score as many as we should have done, but that's how the season goes.

"You have suspensions, we've had a lot out recently, injuries as well, players away at the African Nations Cup, which is what football is all about and when your squad gets tested.

"So if you can keep picking up points when you're missing players then that is obviously a positive."
