00:00Middlesbrough defender Luke Ehrling spoke after Borough defeated West Bromwich Albion by two goals to one on Friday,
00:07which was the side's fifth win of the season so far.
00:11Yeah, it's a great start. We've had some really hard away games and some good home games.
00:18To start five wins out of six is great. People might say it's early, but it's still hard to do that.
00:25So, yeah, we're really pleased with today because we had a few moving parts.
00:28We had a few injuries in the week and then George obviously coming in, starting so well, then him getting injured.
00:34Then we had to reshuffle again and players coming on have done great in our first six games.
00:39So our squad's really good. So, yeah, it's really pleasing.
00:41The first goal always felt like it would be really important today.
00:43We got through the long throw, you were heavily involved in that. Just talk us through that one.
00:47Yeah, we kind of worked on it a few weeks ago, but we've not had the chance to do it.
00:51And then we felt like today that we could set it up and get something.
00:54Yeah, it's great when something that you've worked on and seen that could be a weapon,
01:03then come out on the pitch and then score a goal from it.
01:05So it's great. And then it's great from David in the box to smell that chance and to score his first goal.
01:11So it's great.
01:12And Sunderland head coach, Regis Labrice, said that his side had to be well organised against Aston Villa when playing the majority of the match with only 10 men.
01:23I think it's a good point. We started well with our game plan.
01:32I think the game was at that moment predictable. We had different spaces to protect and the opportunities to get.
01:39It was clear and it was clear and I think this part of the game was interesting.
01:45Then we received this red card and it changed the dynamic.
01:50We defended in 5-3-1, really well, I think, until the half-time.
02:01We managed small details during the half-time. I think the second half was really interesting.
02:07It was obvious that this deep block had to be really compact, well organised.
