Aston Villa's 3-3 draw versus Queens Park Rangers on Monday was loaded with entertaining moments, including one that saw manager Tim Sherwood celebrate Christian Benteke's first-half equaliser by tossing his coat to the floor.

A BBC reporter asked Sherwood how he was coping with everything after the final whistle, pointing out: "We saw you throw your gilet."

This was the charismatic manager's response:

"It wasn't a gilet, it was a coat," Sherwood joked. "They sold out of gilets."

He then continued: "I'm fine. I'm very passionate. I feel it. If anyone feels it more than me, then they must be hurting."

Never change, Sherwood.
