Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood said before the game: "It's hard to win football matches in the Premier League.

"I can't tell you how euphoric you feel when you watch the referee put that whistle in his mouth when you're winning a game. It's an amazing feeling.

"As a manager you're carrying all the expectations of all the fans and the players. That's why you're so disappointed when you get matches like Sunderland where you don't get what you deserve. That's the nature of this game."
