Ashley Westwood says a point at West Ham United is a great boost for Aston Villa.
Westwood admitted a hard-earned draw would do wonders and pointed to the fact the fixture computer had thrown up Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Everton and Tottenham in recent weeks.
"We were brilliant and showed real character," said Westwood. "If you look at our run, it has been tough - a Champions League group is not that hard. Coming off the back of our run, it was a big point."
