Mings scored his first goal for the team since November 2021 in the victory over Fulham.
Tyrone Mings, who scored the game-winning goal against Fulham on Tuesday, claims Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has been "pushing" him to score more goals.
Mings scored his first goal for the team since November 2021 in the 21st minute to secure a 1-0 victory at Villa Park.
When we were practising set pieces, Emery pushed the defender and told him, "You are a tall player and we have to use you; you have to believe in yourself. You must carry it out.
"(Tuesday) was excellent since we triumphed 1-0 thanks to him. It should be included.
"We must add goal scorers, not just forwards, wingers, and midfielders, but also our center backs in set-pieces, and we are pleased for him. We are increasing the opportunity to succeed in other ways.
Ezri Konsa, Mings' teammate at center defense, grinned as he said to VillaTV, "It was about time one of us scored.
"I'm thrilled for him; the management has been picking on Tyrone and me. He threatened to murder us on Monday if one of us failed to score! I'm glad for Tyrone because I think he paid attention and scored.
Villa's campaign for Europe continued with their victory over Fulham, their eighth victory in a 10-game winning streak, and they moved up to fifth place in the Premier League with five games remaining.
After losing 3-0 to Fulham in October and letting manager Steven Gerrard leave soon after, with the team sitting in 17th place in the standings and just two wins in their previous 11 games, Villa's season has experienced an amazing turnaround under his replacement Emery.
They started off by defeating Manchester United, who will be their opponents on Sunday at Old Trafford, 3-1.
There have been at least one goal scored in each of Emery's 20 league games in command; his team has won 13 and lost only four.
When asked if the size of the turnaround shocked him, Emery responded, "No. Tyrone Mings, who wants to get better, and we needed to practice and be demanding, in my opinion. I believe the guys are trying to grow, get more practice, and be humble.
