A friend who was at Tottenham vs. Villa last night!

In an instant EPL classic last night, the Spurs scored 3 furious goals to rally to gain a 4-4 draw with Villa.

Younes Kaboul scored in injury time to give Tottenham a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in the English Premier League on Monday. Kaboul's strike capped a three-goal rally in the final 21 minutes after Tottenham fell behind 4-1 in the 59th at White Hart Lane.

My friend Mike just moved over to London and sent me an e-mail with an eye witness account of the Tottenham vs. Villa match. Here's what he had to say:

"...went to see Tottenham vs. Villa last night (my dad's a lifetime Villa fan), one of the coolest sporting events I've ever been to, was Spurs 125th birthday, they went down 4-1 with 30 minutes to play and came back to draw in injury time---seriously intense."
