AVB who has started with a bang with Tottenham has been producing victory for the North London team.

 
The setback leaves Villa 16th in the formative Premier League table ahead of a two week international break before they resume at Fulham on October 20. And Lambert admits the frustration among his players was palpable when Benteke headed wide the best chance of the game from Marc Albrighton’s 52nd minute cross.

Spurs responded by taking the lead through Steven Caulker on 57 minutes and killed off the game when Aaron Lennon added a second on 67 minutes.

“The big moment was Christian’s chance,” admitted Lambert, who had earlier watched the Belgian international have a close range effort saved.

“There was nothing much in the game and if you get two big chances at a place like this, then you have to score one of them.

“You saw the disappointment on everyone’s faces. Then, when a deflection goes in…

“I can’t fault the players, but it was a big, big moment that chance.

“You need a bit of luck somewhere along the line. They gave me everything. We had a big moment. You don’t know if you are going to win it but it gives you a foothold in the game.”
