Tottenham keeper Gomes: Villa my best performance

Heurelho Gomes feels he's now showing Tottenham his best form after Sunday's victory at Aston Villa.

"It was a massive win for us because now we can think positively about the next game," the Brazilian told the Spurs website.

"If we'd have lost, it would have been difficult. We can now prepare and have confidence for Chelsea and that's another massive game for us."

It was arguably Gomes' most complete performance yet as he fielded the regular supply of crosses coming in from every part of Villa Park. He caught most of them with ease and punched well when under pressure.

"That was my best game for crosses," he smiled.

"This is a different style to other countries like Holland or Brazil. Every cross comes inside the box, from every angle and you have to concentrate. I'm okay now though.

"Villa was a very positive result for us," he added. "But we still have to take more points because we want to finish the season well."
