Aston Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo says that it was "painful" watching his side fall to a 3-1 defeat to Luton Town in the EFL Cup.

Aston Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo has acknowledged that it is not going to be easy to change the fortunes of the West Midlands club.

On Wednesday night, Villa suffered a 3-1 defeat to Luton Town in the EFL Cup, and Di Matteo has admitted that he found their capitulation at Kenilworth Road difficult to watch as they let slip a one-goal advantage.

The 46-year-old is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "It is painful to see and to take as well. We know it is a difficult job. We know that. We will keep working.

"I always knew it would be a difficult job to turn it around. It is a big job but we will get there in time."

Di Matteo has now lost both of his games in charge of Villa after they also fell to a 1-0 setback at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday afternoon.
