Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas praises Aaron Lennon after the winger inspired his side to a 3-1 win over Reading this afternoon.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has heaped praise upon Aaron Lennon following the winger's performance in their 3-1 win over Reading this afternoon.

Lennon created a number of chances throughout the match, including setting up Emmanuel Adebayor for a goal to make it 2-1.

Villas-Boas believes that the 25-year-old doesn't get the recognition he deserves, as well praising his side's form over the festive period.

"We did well to close out the festive period with 10 points from four games and hopefully we will continue this form to put ourselves in the position we want to be," said Villas-Boas.

"Aaron Lennon is such a magnificent player and sometimes he does not get the recognition he deserves but his form has been extraordinary. He has been magnificent for us, scoring goals, like last week, and is such a good player."

The win leaves Spurs third in the Premier League table, six points behind second-placed Manchester City.
