New Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede has praised his teammates for hanging on to beat Bournemouth on the opening day of the new season.
The 26-year-old scored the only goal of the game as Tim Sherwood's men won 1-0 in Bournemouth's first ever Premier League encounter
Gestede told BBC Sport: "It's not easy to come here and get the three points. I scored a goal so I'm very happy today. Bournemouth played a very good game especially in the first half.
"I had two chances and I scored one. It's not easy to win away, but we take it and we train hard and focus on the next game."
Villa host Manchester United on Friday night.
