An 84th minute Martin Laursen goal earned Aston Villa the points against Tottenham.
I could easily have cut and paste the description of the goal from another report from this season.
It may be a new year, but the old problems are still there for all to see.
Both Villa goals came from set pieces, the first a free-kick that Olof Mellberg headed home after he was left unmarked.
Jermain Defoe looked to have brought Spurs back into the game, but Spurs were undone with another late corner.
Barry’s in swinging corner beat the Spurs defence and Laursen was able to head home the winner with 5 minutes left in the game.
If the rumours of Juande Ramos wanting to spend on a new defender in the January sales are true, I`d expect to hear something sooner rather than later after this result.
