Martin O’Neill believes Gabriel Agbonlahor is continuing to improve for Aston Villa Football Club.

The young striker had his critics at Villa Park last season, but this term he has been in fine form and scored his eighth of the season in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

"That sort of goal from two or three yards out is a typical goal scorer's goal,” he said.

"You see people like Jermain Defoe and Michael Owen score that sort of goal so it was pleasing that he got the same sort. He is becoming more dangerous and getting better all the time."
