Zaniolo happy to get on Villa scoresheet

Aston Villa attacker Nicolo Zaniolo was happy to get on the scoresheet for their 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Zaniolo struck in injury time to rescue a point for the hosts.

He later said: "Today was a very important match, we had to win, but I'm happy with my first goal in the Premier League, but I prefer three points.

"When I come on the pitch, the team needed a goal. After I scored, it was a little bit better.

"Villa Park is a difficult place to play. Sheffield is a good team and it was a good team. It was a hard match and we wanted three points."
