Aston Villa striker Danny Ings believes the win over Newcastle United over the weekend is what they needed to kick-start their season.

Villa were disappointed to lose their opening game of the Premier League to Watford, but bounced back against Steve Bruce's Magpies.

Ings, a £25 million summer signing, netted a spectacular goal in the 2-0 win at Villa Park on Saturday.

He said post-game, per the Express and Star:"It was a good goal. But more importantly, it put us on the right foot for the rest of the game.

"We are still trying to gel and bond with the different movements, getting to know each other on the pitch

"To get the win after last week was huge. It was a big win and hopefully we can pick up some momentum now."
