Tottenham defender Michael Dawson was pleased with his goal scoring performance in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Dawson admitted his second-half equaliser was "one to treasure".

The Spurs defender told ESPN: "I think in the second half we were on top. Villa deserve a lot of credit, they got bodies in the way of the ball.

"It was nice to get the goal but unfortunately we couldn't get the win. In the first half we went in knowing we didn't play as well as we know we can and wanted to get the ball down and play in the second. We did that, and showed what a good team we are."

As for his goal, Dawson said: "It was a nice one, one to treasure!"
