Aston Villa winger Andreas Weimann has praised the team's "character" following Sunday's comeback victory over Norwich City in the Premier League.

The Villans conceded with only three minutes on the clock at Villa Park before running out 4-1 winners against the Canaries.

The result was enough to see Paul Lambert's side climb up to 11th place in the table with 10 games left to play.

"It wasn't an easy start for us going behind against Norwich but we showed our character to come back again," Weimann told the club's official website.

"Everything came off for us after that in the first half and it was a brilliant win for us.

"We knew we still had loads of time to come back and it gave us a lift and from then on we never looked back and took the game to them."

Villa continue their Premier League campaign on March 15 when they entertain Chelsea.
