Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas was pleased with his
side's improvement during their 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.
Despite taking the lead through Andros Townsend after 31
minutes, Tottenham were frustrated by a determined Villa defence for periods
during the first period.
However, Roberto Soldado eventually doubled the visitors'
lead after the break and Villas-Boas noted the improvement his side made in the
second half.
"We struggled early on but got our act
together," he told Sky Sports.
"It was difficult in the first minutes because Villa
kept putting long balls in behind us. But we got hold of the ball and started
creating.
"The second half was really good and after 2-0, we
could have gone on to score more."
Townsend's goal was his first in the Premier League for
the club, while close-season signing Soldado scored his first from open play in
the English top flight.
And Villas-Boas was pleased with both players' showings after
Tottenham's 3-0 defeat against West Ham last time out.
"Andros is always a threat and he finished very
strongly. He started not too well but improved during the game," the
Portuguese continued.
"Soldado made the most of the opportunities he had.
After a setback at home we have to respond and I think we did it in a good
fashion. We are in touch with the top and it's a result we deserve."
