Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins claims that beating Sheffield United was the perfect response from his team.
The Midlands club were reeling after losing 3-1 to Newcastle United at home in the previous round of action.
While their home unbeaten run ending still hurts, Watkins is happy they bounced back with an emphatic 5-0 win.
He told reporters: People are very fickle within football. We lost against Newcastle after a 17-match unbeaten home run and there's a lot of negative talk. But then they drew on Saturday and we won and it changed again.
At the start of the season when they (Newcastle) beat us 5-1 there was a big uproar and the fans were going mad and the press were talking a lot about it. But I think they lost the next three games and we won the next four games that's how quickly football changes.
We've got a lot of football still to go. We're just focusing on ourselves and trying to win every game."
