Aston Villa boss Dean Smith was all across the significance of Saturday's defeat of Arsenal.
Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game.
Smith remarked afterwards, “That's the first time we've done the double over Arsenal since the inception of the Premier League in 1992-93. These players like to make history as we've seen in the last couple of years.
“It was a real hard-working performance. We got away from that against West Ham on Wednesday. We've got the quality to score goals but that was more like us – a real dogged display against a good offensive team.
“We started at a good intensity. We charged down balls from Arsenal and pounced on errors."
On whether Europe is possible: “We're not looking that far ahead. People talk about that and you fall flat on your face against West Ham."
