'We just weren't good enough, simple as that'

Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat: "We just weren't good enough today, simple as that. Second half, we performed better but we didn't have enough. We can make excuses about being fatigued but, if we want to play in the Champions League, we have to be prepared to play this much.

"This season away from home, we have conceded early quite a lot and it is something we have to work on. The second half was better, but it wasn't enough. We put pressure on but I don't think we troubled their back four or goalkeeper enough. We have to improve and we have to do it now."

On Donyell Malen's goal being ruled out: "I thought it was a normal goal. It is gone now and there is nothing we can do."

On building for the future: "I think we have to stop conceding goals. I feel like we are conceding every game and me, being in the backline, I have to go back, look on it and change it."
