Aston Villa coach Dean Smith: Avoiding relegation 'is in our hands now'

Trezeguet struck an excellent winner after 27 minutes to grab a crucial 1-0 win at Villa Park.

It lifted Villa out of the relegation zone for the first time since February and they head to West Ham for Sunday's Premier League finale.

They are out of the drop zone on goal difference after Watford suffered a 4-0 hammering by Manchester City on Tuesday.

Villa now lead the race to beat relegation ahead of Watford and Bournemouth having been seven points from safety three games ago.

Smith said: "There's one game to go, similar to after the penalty shootout at West Brom (in last season's play-offs). All we have done is put it in our own hands and we have to put a performance in and get a win at West Ham".
