Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard says that his side did not deserve to suffer a 4-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.

Steven Gerrard has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 victory over his Aston Villa side on Saturday evening was "harsh".

Despite creating more opportunities and having six more corners, Villa were blown away by Antonio Conte's team as Son Heung-min netted a hat-trick and Dejan Kulusevski scored just after half time.

However, while Villa have now suffered four successive defeats in the Premier League, Gerrard has suggested that he was satisfied with his team's performance.

Speaking to Match Of The Day, the Englishman said: "It's tough - the scoreline is harsh on us, but it's the reality and we have to accept that. I have to accept it - I'm responsible. The story of the game certainly wasn't a 4-0 game.

"It's the first time in football I've gone off at half time 1-0 down and been really happy and proud, we were magnificent, we didn't take our chances but at half-time I said if we can continue this I have no doubt we get back into the game. The second half it flipped, Spurs' quality players made it about our backline and they punished us really heavily.

"We've got time - I don't know if that's a good thing, you want the next game quickly after a defeat like that which stings but I've got to pick the players up and be ready for the next game. I want us to remember that first half, we have a lot to learn and defensively in the second half we have even more to learn."

Villa, who now sit in 12th position in the top flight, are next in action when they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on April 23.
