Team Digasak 1-3, Villa Coach Admits the greatness of West Ham

BIRMINGHAM - Aston Villa coach Dean Smith acknowledged the greatness of West Ham United who won the match 3-1 in the Premier League, at Villa Park Stadium, Thursday (4/2) early morning WIB. Smith said his squad had a hard time keeping up with David Moyes' polishing game.

The match ended goalless in the first half. But Smith had to see his team's goal conceding three goals through Tomas Soucek and two from Jesse Lingard. Meanwhile, Villa only got one goal back through Ollie Watkins.

"The best team wins tonight," said Smith acknowledging the strength of West Ham, quoted by Sky Sports.

Smith claims his foster children are not at their best. He didn't understand why that had happened in the last few games. Or he guessed whether his team's playing was not good. Villa did not play as desired.

According to Smith Villa, giving goals to West Ham due to poor performance. Smith also seriously noted weaknesses that must be fixed, namely defense. If you don't hurry up and fix it, Smith believes Villa will have won.

Villa now sits in ninth position in the standings with 32 points from 20 matches. Furthermore, they will host Arsenal this weekend. They need to be alert as the Gunners are starting to find good form under Mikel Arteta.

After stumbling at the start of the season, Aubameyang and his friends seemed to be able to implement the strategy Arteta wanted. And the impact is they are only one point adrift of Villa and in the standings only one level below Villa.
