Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill:
"It was a very important win for us, away from home and against opposition who only a week ago beat Liverpool, so I'm pleased.
"We're hanging in there for the chase for fourth spot. It's a difficult run-in for us but we're excited by it, we're going for it and we're going to try to achieve it.
"We knew our runs in the cups would lead to a packed schedule come the end of the season, but we'll face the challenges as they come. I'm just delighted with my players."
