Aston Villa 2-1 Tottenham

Jan 2, 2008

Martin Laursen’s 84th-minute winner helped Aston Villa to sixth place in the Premier League after an entertaining match against Tottenham.

Olof Mellberg put Villa in front when he rose unopposed to head home Ashley Young’s free-kick on 40 minutes.

Spurs equalised in the 79th minute when Jermain Defoe finished acrobatically after Dimitar Berbatov set him up.

But Laursen secured the points to move Villa into sixth place when he headed home Gareth Barry’s inswinging corner.
