Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is delighted with the spirit the players are showing after victory at Tottenham.

Sherwood says his Villa players like what they see at the moment when they look around the dressing room.

"That desire, heart and spirit has never been questioned," he said. "You saw that at White Hart Lane.

"I think they really do believe that we've got the quality. They look around the dressing room and they see they've got their mate who is willing to put his body on the line for himself and the other lads.

"We've got all the ingredients but there's still a lot of hard work to be done.

"As a manager you've got the expectations of the whole club and it's not a little club. We're talking about a massive football club.

"I'm trying to keep them in this Premier League and those three points against Tottenham have given us a great chance."
