Tim Sherwood stays positive despite Manchester City defeat

Tim Sherwood laughs off suggestions of relegation and claims that Aston Villa outplayed Manchester City in their 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood believes that his team outplayed Premier League champions Manchester City during their 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero and Aleksander Kolorov put City in control, but Villa hit back through goals from Tom Cleverley and Carlos Sanchez.

However, Fernandinho won the game for City in the 88th minute.

Sherwood told BBC Sport"I thought we controlled the game and there were lots of positives, but no points to take from it. I could see from where I was that Christian Benteke was onside and I think it was a penalty and a red card for Joe Hart.

"After a poor start, the team continued to believe we could play through midfield. I was satisfied with the performance but I can't be satisfied with the decisions that cost us points here.

"I thought that we outplayed them. You think we can get relegated playing like that? You are having a laugh aren't you?"

Villa sit 15th in the Premier League table, two points clear of the bottom three.
