Villa defender Okore: We lost, but brilliant to score

Aston Villa defender Jores Okore says it is positive to have scored in defeat to Chelsea.

Indeed, the Dane reckons breaking their duck is "brilliant".

Okore said: "It is really positive that we can now go out there and not have to talk about not scoring for once. At least now we can put that to bed.

"It's just a great feeling to score because I don't do it that often. But to get one against a top team like Chelsea is always extra- special.

"It's brilliant that the drought thing is over. That's the really nice thing but most importantly we showed we can compete with a side like Chelsea."
