Intro:

Team reactions after West Ham United beat Aston Villa 2-0 away from home on Saturday afternoon (8 February) in England's Premier League.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lambert, Aston Villa manager

"It was disappointing. The two goals were really disappointing. That's the thing, especially after half-time. I had just taken my seat, then it was the long ball and we never dealt with it. Whether you're young, old or experienced you deal with that. That's just a long ball, we should've dealt with it better. The second goal is just a basic error. Then, all of a sudden, you come to life in the game. But the two goals were not good enough."

Q: What irritated you the most about that performance?

"The two goals. Because you had a foothold in the game, you're level, you're level just after half-time, you're attacking your favourite end and you think something can happen. But the two goals in that time - two or three minutes - put you on the back foot."
