John Carew was delighted for Aston Villa teammate Richard Dunne after his goal against Manchester City.
Dunne struck against his old club in Monday's 1-1 draw and Norway striker Carew said: "He's been there for many years and it was special for him to score against the club he captained, so he proved a point.
"He's a great defender. They sold him and switched him for another one and that's great for us because I'm happy he came here.
"I don't think there was a lot of frustration and a lot of hurt in the header, but I think there was a lot of motivation and a lot of passion in it."
