Jordan Ayew suggests Aston Villa are on the verge of a positive run of results.

The bottom-placed Villans have drawn their past two outings - both 1-1 against Newcastle United and West Ham United - which indicates to leading scorer Ayew that perhaps the team is close to finding a much-needed victory.

"I thought we deserved the three points against West Ham. We produced a great game," he told AVTV after scoring his fifth goal of the season against the Hammers.

"We played the whole 90 minutes very, very well. We just have to continue like this.

"Things are changing bit by bit. We will win games, no doubt, if we continue playing like this.

"We have two important games coming up and we need to get points.

"We have to keep believing and keep on working hard. Things will change, I know that.

"We have to pick up points now. We have to continue on with what we have been doing since the second half against Newcastle.

"We have to keep on that way."

Villa next meet Norwich City at Carrow Road on Monday night.
