Although they scrambled through to the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win over Gillingham, Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is still a happy man.

O'Neill admitted it was a struggle but was delighted to have progressed and can now focus on the next round.

"Obviously, I'm delighted we've won the game," he said.

"I thought it was a very difficult afternoon the whole way through. If the players didn't know beforehand they were in some game, after about 10 minutes they did.

"We got a great goal and it settled us down a wee bit but I never felt comfortable all afternoon. I thought that Gillingham were always in the game, they equalised and the game was in the balance."
