Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood was delighted with the manner of their 3-2 win over Everton.

Sunderland's 2-1 win over Southampton kept the pressure on Sherwood's side but he believes they have momentum after climbing to 14th in the table.

He said: "I think there's a bit of belief in there now. I think they've improved performance-wise since I came here and they're looking like a Tim Sherwood side at the moment.

"What's that? It wins! I think we've got pace, flair, goalscorers - we do score goals.

"We've got a lot of pace, we move the ball wide, we have players in the middle of the park who can tackle, break the ball up and they've got flair, so we've got a nice mixture. But there's an awful lot of hard work to be done, three more wins and we'll get over the line."
