Villa bounce back from their Tottenham hammering to secure a win as thrilling as it was unexpected to give rise to an iconic image of celebrating in front of the Holte.

Paul Lambert’s Villa arguably deliver their third great result in 54 games under his stewardship with this backs to the wall victory against an expensively assembled outfit. 

The win showed a hitherto absent steel in Lambert's side, doubly so given the team was troubled with injuries to key players. 

As a result the game proved a source of hope that it could kickstart form for Villa in a way their previous victories (over Liverpool in December 2012 and Arsenal on the opening day of this season) had not. 

Villa climb to 9th in the Premier League table after six games as they had now won three and lost three of their opening matches.
