Aston Villa captain McGinn: No fall-out from Neto clash

Aston Villa captain John McGinn had no issues with playing the pantomime villain against Wolves.

The Midlands clubs played out a fiercely contested derby in the Premier League on Sunday.

Villa had to battle to earn a 1-1 draw, with Pau Torres scoring for the visitors at Molineux.

Asked by reporters if he enjoyed the intense game, McGinn said: “Aye, why not? You can have a scrap, a fight and an argument during the game, like I was having with most players.

Pedro Neto, I respect so much, he's a quality player, one of the best in the league. At the end we just had a laugh.

“He enjoyed the battle and I enjoyed the battle. I'll look forward to coming back to Molineux next year."
