Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa was pleased with the clean sheet after their 1-0 Europa League win at Lille.

An Ollie Watkins header earned the round of 16 first-leg win in France on Thursday.

“So far, so good,” said Konsa post-match.

“It hasn’t been a good couple of months for us, we haven’t got results that we needed.

“But we knew how big today was, we needed to win.

“We played here a couple of seasons ago, we knew how tough it would be.

“For me, the main thing is we kept a clean sheet, something we’ve struggled to do over the last couple of games.

“We’re not going to get too happy, we know there’s still a second leg to play for, we have to focus on that and finish the job.”
