Villa, though, will rue a miss by Christian Benteke shortly before Spurs’ opening goal that followed an error by Hugo Lloris, the France goalkeeper, who was given his Premier League debut by Villas-Boas, ending former Villa ‘keeper Brad Friedel’s run of 310 successive league starts over eight seasons.
