Friedel foils Spurs

06 February 2010 19:50
Tottenham could not find a way past Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel as two of this season's top-four hopefuls in the Barclays Premier League cancelled each other out. Visiting goalkeepers have enjoyed the limelight at White Hart Lane this season and Friedel was at his dependable best this time, denying Ledley King with his best save. Spurs thought they could have had a last-gasp penalty when Jermain Defoe was challenged by Stiliyan Petrov - but it remained goalless. It means Liverpool have edged Harry Redknapp's side out of the Champions League places to give the top of the league a familiar look.
