Tottenham boss Juande Ramos refused to blame goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes for last night's defeat by Aston Villa.

The Brazilian was at fault for Villa's second goal, scored by Ashley Young after halftime, but Ramos insisted: "I'm always angry at the end of games like this with the players and myself as well.

"The blame I give to the goalkeeper is the blame that is due to him, like the other players. On other occasions he also stopped them scoring goals.

"I think he was absolutely magnificent apart from that goal."
