Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has praised his side's performance following Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Fulham in the Premier League.

Charles N'Zogbia netted just before the hour mark to give Villa the lead, but the visitors earned a point 10 minutes later when Fabian Delph put the ball into his own net.

"I thought we were very good," Lambert told Sky Sports News. "We had a lot of the ball and with the chances we had, I thought we were a threat the whole game and I thought we lost an equaliser due to a bad piece of luck."

The draw has lifted Villa three points clear of the relegation zone with five games left to play this season.
