Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez admits their defeat to Leicester City wasn't good enough.
Martinez was beaten four times by the Foxes and was frustrated that Villa could not push higher up the table by continuing their good form.
"I think we were unbeaten in January, three wins and one draw," the World Cup winner told VillaTV.
"We thought it was the time to make that next step, to be closer to Europe. It is a really, really hard one to take.
"It was just a couple of mistakes, three mistakes for them to score, we gave them the lead. After that it was quite hard to come back.
"We started the second half trying to get those mistakes away, we couldn't, they took the lead again through another mistake.
"But I'm OK with mistakes, I've made a few mistakes here as well. It was a frustrating day for me as well."
