Derby County striker Emanuel Villa admits his first months in England have been tough going.

Speaking after Saturday's 6-0 whitewash by Aston Villa, Argentinian striker Villa admitted: "It hurts. Since I have arrived we haven't won and it is almost like you get into a losing mentality.

"Becoming the worst Premier League team ever is a worry. Given our record in recent weeks there is not much hope we can get to 16 points.

"But what you can count on is we will be trying and giving of our best to do that."
