​Gerrard says Aston Villa 'joy to watch' in huge win over Leeds | OneFootball

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard lavished praise on his side after a 3-0 thumping of Leeds United.

The Birmingham-based club came into the game in good form, and showed their best attacking qualities against the relegation strugglers.

New Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was hoping to get a positive result, but has now made it two defeats from his first two matches.

Gerrard, however, was delighted when he spoke with MOTD post-game: "I am very happy.

"The team is in a fantastic place and the mood is good but we have to remain cautious and keep resetting ourselves. Things can change quickly in this league.

"The gameplan worked tonight for sure. The idea was to really dominate the middle of the pitch. We played through the press which gave us a lot of success through the transition. We were a real joy to watch going forward.

"We started both halves a little sloppy if there was one negative."
