Brugge win 'can't be underestimated' - Nevin
Former Chelsea and Everton winger Pat Nevin says you "can't underestimate the importance" of Aston Villa's 3-2 Champions League win over Club Brugge on Tuesday "for their entire season".Villa breathed life into their season as they edged to a narrow Champions League victory which marked their first win and first goals of the campaign.Advertisement"Just to score some goals is important for Villa," Nevin told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast."That does really work on the confidence of the players."When the confidence is flowing and you're scoring goals it becomes kind of easy and you pass it in and don't think about it. But, for a team that can also happen."The fact they hadn't scored a goal so far this season and so many important and vital players had left the club - it was always going to have a huge effect of the teams' confidence. They needed something to lift them very quickly."I don't think you can't underestimate the importance of the win, not just for the Champions League but for their entire season. Particularly to also get three goals and for their new striker Nicolas Jackson to score too.Advertisement"I do always hope the very best for them because the attitude is great. The manager is brilliant with what he does, he doesn't seem to complain too much even when it's all ripped out from underneath him for financial reasons."But, I still think in reality it is going to be a tough season for Villa fans."
