Jamaican winger Leon Bailey won the Aston Villa faithful's hearts on Saturday with a 21-minute cameo that included his first goal since his big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen.

Bailey, a 25 million-pound summer signing, was introduced as a substitute in the 61st minute and he sparked Villa into life with his electrifying pace.

"It means so much to me, to accomplish what I did in the 21 minutes. My family was here and the fans chanting my name when I came on. It is such an amazing feeling. I feel I have welcomed myself here as a Villa player," Bailey said. "In the moment I just said I am going to smash the ball. It was bouncing, I took the time to be relaxed, focused to make sure I hit it properly," he said.

"I had a dream last night I was going to score. I need to dream more. I scored in front of the Holte End. Surreal moment. I'm really happy to be playing in front of these fans," he said.
