Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke admits he's loved his first season in the Premier League.

He's loving the challenge of causing mayhem among some of Europe's finest defenders in Villa's relegation fight.

Benteke told the Daily Star: "We can't be satisfied to be where we are in the league but we know we can do something about this.

"We believe in ourselves, we believe in each other, the manager believes and the fans are behind us.

"We are growing as a team. We know we have to do our job and we will."
