Villa boss Sherwood happy taking three points from Spurs

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood was delighted with victory at Tottenham.

A first-half Christian Benteke header was enough to seal a 1-0 win for Villa at White Hart Lane and move them six points clear of the bottom three.

When asked if he enjoyed the victory, Sherwood replied: "Yes, but I didn't enjoy it while it was still going on.

"If we hadn't won here today, I wouldn't have enjoyed it (coming back) but it is most satisfying because it is the most important stage of the season.

"This week so many people told me 'you can't win there, Villa never win there' - so where do we win?"
