Aston Villa boss Dean Smith felt their 0-0 draw with Wolves was the right result on Saturday.

A point apiece was a fair reflection on the encounter as it ended honours even.

Speaking to VillaTV post-match, Smith said: “I think if we have won it at the end there, it would have felt a little bit unjust, such were the big chances they've had in the second half.

“First half was as good as we've played since December, I think.

“There was some really good play there, we pressed well, won the ball back in their half really well and created some really good chances, hit the upright a couple of times and had the majority of play and chances.

“I wanted the same again second half, I thought they improved second half, I must admit, and I thought they were the better team in the second half.

“We didn't deal well enough with some second-phase set-pieces and they've had a couple of big chances that we got away with. One with a good save from Emi and one where I think Ezri just gets dragged in with Saiss, Coady comes in at the back post, hits the post, and they put it over from a yard.

“Relieved with that but pleased with the point and pleased with parts of the performance, especially the first half."
