Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey has promised that there will be no let-up in the pursuit of a top-four finish at Villa Park this season.
The England international scored Villa's opener in their 2-0 win at Sunderland on Tuesday night. That was the Villans' second consecutive win after they beat Manchester United at the weekend and moved them into third place in the Premier League table.
But Heskey acknowledges that their current form means little if the team cannot sustain it.
"It is going well and we are getting the results that we want," the 31-year-old told The Birmingham Mail.

But Heskey acknowledges that their current form means little if the team cannot sustain it.
"It is going well and we are getting the results that we want," the 31-year-old told The Birmingham Mail.
"It was a difficult game for us after we put a lot into the game on Saturday.
"The boys were all feeling a bit tired but we came here, stayed strong and scored some goals.
"It is easy to say you are going to come and get points, but you have actually got to do it and we have showed that we can.
"It is interesting because people will probably feel that we might die off a little bit but we can hopefully stay up there.
"It's nice to be up there but now we've got to sustain it and keep our foot on the pedal."
Heskey struggled to hold down a place in Martin O'Neill's side at the beginning of the season, but has now hit three goals in all competitions as he begins to put a run of games together.
"It is nice to be playing, first and foremost, and if I can chip in with a few goals myself then great," he added.
"Gabby Agbonlahor has been doing very well and so has John Carew, but hopefully I can do my bit as well.
"You have got to enjoy your football, that's what it's all about. I think that's when you get your best out of players."
