Both sides have their eyes on a a spot in the top four of the Premier League but could not be prised apart in north London on Saturday evening.[LNB]Spurs were visibly upset at not getting a spot-kick when Stiliyan Petrov appeared to trip Jermain Defore in the box and Dunne appeared to confirm suspicions that the visitors were lucky.[LNB]The Republic of Ireland centre-back told ESPN: "It looked like a penalty, but we got a good decision and we're happy.[LNB]"It was very difficult. Tottenham are a very good side and the same as ourselves are pushing for the top four.[LNB]"Our main objective was to come here and take some points so we're quite pleased.[LNB]"We had a blip over Christmas so to get back in the points is important."[LNB]Villa boss Martin O'Neill was more pragmatic on the contested penalty shout.[LNB]He added: "I honestly have not seen it. Where have you heard that phrase before? If you tell me it looks like a penalty and we've had a bit of luck then we're content."[LNB][LNB]
