Emanuel Villa has promised Derby County fans there's more to come from him after his first goal for the club in their draw with Birmingham City.

"I'm very happy to have scored the goal but it would have been much sweeter if we'd managed to pull off a victory," Villa told the Derby Telegraph.

"But it's a good start and a step in the right direction, both in terms of the point and the goal for me. Let's hope it's the first of many more.

He added: "There will be more to come from me. The football's very, very different here but the aim right now is to make the settling-in process as short as possible.

"I've got every confidence in my colleagues and the management team.

"I'm very much aware I'm in a transitional period. I'm settling in, I'm getting to know a kind of football that's very different to what I'm used to.

"So from that point of view it's great to score a goal. Scoring will help in terms of motivation."
