Aston Villa fullback Luke Young has branded Tottenham a long-ball team.

After frustrating Spurs on Saturday evening, Villa were subjected to chants from the White Hart Lane faithful accusing them of being boring.

But former Spurs defender Young claimed: "It was a hard-fought point for us and a really important one.

"I think they played more long balls than anyone I've played against this season with the balls up to Peter Crouch. Pretty much most of the danger they caused us was in to Crouch and then flicking it inside and Jermain Defoe coming back in.

"It doesn't really bother us how we win our points.

"We know we're not a boring side with the likes of Ashley Young, Stewart Downing, James Milner and Gabby Agbonlahor.

"I think it was just frustration from the home fans."
