Asked if the performance could be a turning point in Villa's season, the Frenchman replied: "Yes I think so. In so many games we lost or dropped points in giving away goals at the end.
"This time we made the goal that brought us one point. There were a couple of games where we could have kept the result - I think we dropped 12 points from leading positions.
"It is a game of character. I would say we showed character, we showed bravery and we didn't bottle out."
I guess the manager has forgotten that by the 82nd minute we were still leading 2-1...
