Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says they've already achieved a first target set since his arrival.
Despite the loss at Manchester City, Villa remain within striking distance of the top ten in 11th place.
Emery says his side must learn the lessons from Sunday's game as they look to move forward against Arsenal next weekend.
He said: We had two objectives: one was to try and escape from the bottom, which we did, but we have to continue on respecting the teams below us because they are trying to get us; the other is trying to get into the top ten.
The next step is much harder. We are now 11th but we have to be consistent in our mind when we are winning and when we are losing, trying to analyse where to improve and being demanding.
We have to use everything that happened today to help us in the next match."
