Record-breaking win 'special' for Aston Villa playerspublished at 18:06 British Summer Time 23 April 2019

The victory over Millwall yesterday is part of a run that stretches back to the start of March.
Fifth-placed Villa will now finish at least sixth, as sixth-placed Derby County and eighth-placed Bristol City meet on Saturday, meaning both cannot overhaul Dean Smith's men from their remaining games.
It is a remarkable turnaround for Villa, whose 2-1 defeat at The Den in October's corresponding fixture left them languishing 15th in the Championship.
Quote MessageTo win 10 in a row is special, I'm not sure there are many lads in the changing room who will have been part of that at any previous club or anywhere so it's a special feeling."
