Villa boss O'Neill: Agbonlahor finish in Owen class

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was pleased for Gabby Agbonlahor after his goal in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

A late goal from Tottenham skipper Michael Dawson cancelled out a first-half effort from Agbonlahor.

O'Neill said: "That sort of goal from two or three yards out is a typical goal scorers' goal.

"You see people like Jermain Defoe and Michael Owen score that sort of goal so it was pleasing that he got the same sort. He is becoming more dangerous and getting better all the time."
