The win improved Aston Villa's position in the Europa League standings, moving them up to sixth place at the midpoint of the league phase.

In a post-match interview, Konsa acknowledged the importance of the win, given the team's standing in the table.

"It was clear that we needed to win here, especially with the table how it's going," Konsa said.

"We knew that three points would help us move up in the standings," he added.

Konsa also discussed the experience of being captain, a role he has always aspired to fill.

"It's always nice to lead the team out," Konsa said.

"When John McGinn is not on the pitch, I take on the responsibility of captain, and I'm enjoying it," Konsa concluded.
