Luke Young hopes Aston Villa's second-half slide doesn't take the gloss off an exciting season.

The England fullback said: "The season sorts of gets overshadowed with the bad run we've been on. A couple of months ago we were riding high and everything was positive.

"We were on such a great run and trying to get Champions League football.

"It has taken the gloss off the end of the season a little bit but, hopefully with the last six games, we can pick it up again and give a good account of ourselves."
