Milner enjoying football played by Aston Villa

Aston Villa winger James Milner says he's enjoying the football they're playing this season.

Reflecting on Monday's draw with Manchester City, Milner told AVTV: "It was end to end. It was hard - obviously they are a very good team.

"They have had a good start to the season and we knew they'd come here all guns blazing and it was up to us to make sure we put on a performance - especially after the last game. That was more of a battle, but this was a completely different type of game.

"It was good entertainment for the neutral but we were disappointed not to get the three points. We came out and had a good spell in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second-half and had a couple of chances which could have made it two. If they go in it is a different ball game.

"Obviously they came back and got the goal and it was down to us not to crumble. They were going to put us under a bit of pressure but we had chances at the other end as well.

"It was a good game from two attacking teams and two teams who are searching to improve and move forward as a club."
