Scott Parker praised Tottenham's attacking quality after they beat Aston Villa 2-0 tonight to climb to third in the Premier League.

Emmanuel Adebayor netted both goals for the North London side, who had Harry Redknapp in the dugout for the first time since his minor heart surgery.

"This year we have played some lovely stuff," said Parker.

"We have got some fantastic attacking players. Adebayor stepped up and scored two today but we have got plenty of players going forward which can cause plenty of teams problems."

The England midfielder also applauded Redknapp, whom he believes has been instrumental in Spurs' rise up the table.

"The manager has been absolutely superb and he's done wonders since he's been here. It was a great lift for us all to see him."

Spurs travel to the Hawthorns to face West Brom on Saturday, having won eight out of their last nine league games.
