Aston Villa must build on Sunday's Carling Cup final appearance, says captain Stilian Petrov.

Petrov believes the experience of a major final will drive his team-mates on to challenge for more trophies.

He told Villa's website: "We have a great bunch of boys and we will keep fighting because this club wants to go forward and we want to win things.

"We are a little bit down at the moment but that will drive these players more to come back to Wembley again and try and win.

"This won't slow us down. We'll keep going and keep fighting."
