Jol delight at Defoe double

JERMAIN DEFOE proved the difference as Tottenham extended their White Hart Lane winning streak with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, leaving manager Martin Jol full of praise for the striker.

Defoe took his tally for the season to 12 with two goals against Villa, one of a number of clubs he has been linked with during more frustrating times for the England international.

Spurs’ run of wins at home now stands at 12 too, although a draw looked likely until Defoe’s second-half double.
