Christian Benteke suggests he has rediscovered his very best form for Aston Villa.

The Belgian striker scored the only goal in his side's 1-0 win at Tottenham on Saturday to make it eight in his past six outings under Tim Sherwood which has the Villans almost clear of the relegation zone.

"I would say almost," said Benteke who has netted just twice in 18 appearances before his scoring streak.

"I have a big faith. In life you have some bad times and some good times and maybe now it's my good time and I just try to enjoy it.

"You know the expectations, it is high. But when I came back I knew it was going to be hard. But I didn't put pressure on myself. I knew my time would come and I would get my old level."
