Aston Villa 1 Tottenham 0

The Peruvian international struck his fourth goal of the campaign to make it 13 points from the past five games for David O'Leary's in-form side.

But in contrast Tottenham have lost six league games in a row - including three under new coach Martin Jol - and are sliding towards the relegation zone at an alarming rate.
