"It's great, it's a great achievement. We said all along that this is the aim from the moment we came together in pre-season. They showed a great attitude and work rate and it's the result of all the hard work they put in from the start, like adapting to the language and a new culture. It wasn't easy at times and Villa played particularly well at the start of the second half and put us under a lot of pressure. We rode our luck at times and produced some great defending on other occasions and we eventually got back into the game and took the chances that came our way well," said the reserve team coach.
"We've got a group of players who aren't fazed, no matter who they come up against. Even in practice games against the first-team - although we don't do particularly well in them and why should we? - but you see that the ability is there and the attitude is there, and if we keep bringing them along and developing them how we have been, we'll have some very good young players.
"Krisztian's been on fire and took his goal very well with his so-called weaker foot. The second goal involved some great play where we got a nice little passing sequence going and we put Jordy in and he took it very,very well. For the third goal Pacheco came on and spotted a great pass for Lucas who did the rest."
