Boss hails Friedel

18 October 2009 10:58
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill praised goalkeeper Brad Friedel after he bounced back from a first-half error to play a major part in the 2-1 win against Chelsea. American Friedel made several fine saves after his mistake had gifted Didier Drogba the opening goal. O`Neill said: "He didn't get an opportunity straight away to rectify it so that would be playing on his mind still and at half-time he would be angry with himself. "Then he comes out and makes two or three magnificent saves. That was an immense second half from him."
