'Showed City too much respect'
FT: Aston Villa 1-6 Manchester City
Aston Villa boss Dean Smith, speaking to Match of the Day: "It's tough when you come up against world class teams.
"There’s a professional pride as a coach and a team and the third goal summed it up - they had about 20 passes without us laying a glove on them.
"Up until that point we had contained them but Marhez has passed it in from eight yards and no one had a tackle on him.
"There was no physical contact for the first and third goal and we have also made mistakes that allowed them to get in.
"We did play a part. We had a game plan and we started off fairly brightly but we were giving them too much respect."
