A delighted Tim Sherwood graces The National Sport front page on Sunday, April 12, after masterminding a win for Aston Villa over his former club, Tottenham.

Christian Benteke’s first-half strike proved the difference between the two clubs on Sherwood’s first return to White Hart Lane since his sacking in the summer.

The win gives Villa a significant boost in their hopes for Premier League survival, having moved five points clear of the relegation zone. Defeat for Tottenham, meanwhile, is a another blow to their hopes of European football next season. Spurs are two points behind sixth-placed Liverpool, who host Newcastle on Monday.
