Villa boss O'Neill heaps praise on scorer Harewood

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was delighted with Marlon Harewood's goal scoring performance in last night's 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

O'Neill said on Setanta Sports 1: "I'm delighted.

"He's waited a long time for his chance. It's been a frustrating time for him, he came here (to Villa) to battle for a position. The fact is Gabby Agbonlahor and John Carew have played so well up there - and Luke Moore at times has done particularly well himself - and it's been frustrating for him.

"But he's gone on, got a goal and I'm delighted for him. I thought he made a big difference when he came on."
